High IP3
Frequency Mixer
HJK-372H+
Level 17 (LO Power +17 dBm) 420 to 3730 MHz
The Big Deal
• High IP3, +24 dBm, typ.
• High isolation, 35 dB L-R, 33 dB L-I typ.
• Low conversion loss, 7.5 dB typ.
• Wideband. 420 to 3730 MHz
CASE STYLE: TTT1114
Product Overview
Mini-Circuits’ HJK-372H+ is a surface mount, level 17 FET-based frequency mixer with an RF frequency range from 420 to 3730
MHz, LO frequency range from 610 to 3920 MHz, and IF frequency range from 100 to 600 MHz. Its double-balanced FET configuration achieves an outstanding combination of low conversion loss, low noise figure and high IP3 performance without the
need for a DC bias current, ideal for sensitive receiver applications including base stations, PCS, fixed satellite and more. The
mixer comes housed in a miniature, shielded 6-lead package (0.38 x 0.50 x 0.15”), saving space in tight PCB layouts.
Feature
Advantages
High IP3, +24 dBm typ.
Minimizes third order intermodulation products and improves dynamic range in demanding environments
where multiple carriers may be present.
Low conversion loss, 7.5 dB
Preserves signal integrity from input to output by reducing undesirable signal responses that can degrade
system performance and enables lower NF front ends, improving system sensitivity.
Good P1dB compression, +14 dBm at input
Whereas the 1-dB compression point of a diode-based mixer is typically 4 to 6 dB lower than the LO power
level, the 1-dB compression point of HJK-372H+ FET-based mixer is +14 dBm higher than the LO signal
power. This results in excellent linearity and high dynamic range.
High L-R and L-I isolation,
• L-R, 35 dB typ.
• L-I, 33 dB typ.
Preserves signal integrity from input to output and reduces undesired signal responses that can interfere with
system performance.
Small size (0..38 x 0.50 x 0.15”)
Saves PCB real estate and accommodates crowded layouts.
