SFB-55375307-1519SF-N1Rev 1.5

V-Band Balanced Mixer, 55 to 75 GHz
Description:
Model SFB-55375307-1519SF-N1 is a V-Band, balancedmixer. The mixer supports a wide waveguide band operation
with an RF frequency of 55 to 75 GHz, an IF frequency from40 to 60 GHz, and an IF output from DC to 25 GHz. The mixer
offers a typical conversion loss of 10 dB and a high RF to LO
port isolation. The mixer has a WR-15 waveguide for the RF
port to cover the V Band frequencies up to 75 GHz, while thelocal oscillator port has a WR-19 waveguide to cover the Uband frequencies down to 40 GHz. This configuration
supports high data rate operations up to 25 GHz. This mixer
can also be used as an up-converter.

Note:• All data presented is collected from a sample lot. Actual data may vary unit to unit slightly.
• All testing was performed under +25 °C case temperature.
• Eravant reserves the right to change the information presented without notice.
Caution:• Exceeding absolute maximum ratings shown will damage the device.
• The device is static sensitive. Always follow ESD rules when working with the device.
• The IF port of the balanced mixer is DC coupled. Use a DC block when connecting to otherdevices. Do not apply an external bias voltage to the IF port.
• Any foreign objects in the waveguide will cause performance degradation and can possibly
damage the device.
• Proper torque, 8.0 ± 0.15 inch-pounds (0.92 ± 0.05 Nm), should be applied. Eravant torquewrench, model SCH-08008-S1, is highly recommended.
