The Big Deal

• High reliability with hermetically sealed ceramic quads

• Wideband, 10 to 2500 MHz

• Low conversion loss, 6.5 dB

• High IP3, +23 dBm

• High isolation, 40 dB L-R, 40 dB L-I typ.

Product Overview

Mini-Circuits SYM-R252HW+ is a surface mount, level 17 Schottky-diode-based triple balanced frequency

mixer with an RF/LO frequency range from 10 to 2500 MHz and an IF bandwidth of 10 to 500 MHz. This

model utilizes hermetically sealed ceramic quads to provide high reliability for use in harsh operating

conditions. It provides an outstanding combination of low conversion loss, high IP3, and excellent L-R

and L-I isolation. The mixer comes housed in a miniature shielded package (0.38 x 0.50 x 0.23”), saving

space in tight PCB layouts.

Key Features

Feature

Advantages

Hermetically sealed ceramic quads

Provides high reliability for applications in harsh operating conditions.

High IP3, +23 dBm typ.

Minimizes third order intermodulation products and improves dynamic range in demand-

ing environments where multiple carriers may be present.

Low conversion loss, 6.5 dB

Preserves signal integrity from input to output by reducing undesirable signal loss that can

degrade system performance and enables lower NF front ends, improving system sensitiv-

ity.

Good P1dB compression,

+14 dBm at input

Results in excellent linearity and high dynamic range.

High L-R and L-I isolation,

• L-R, 40 dB typ.

• L-I, 40 dB typ.

Reduces undesired signal crosstalk that can interfere with system performance.

Small size (0.38 x 0.50 x 0.23”)

Saves PCB real estate and accommodates crowded layouts.
