SFF-50375313-1515KF-N1-M

Rev. 1.0

Description:
Model SFF-50375313-1515KF-N1-M is a V Band balanced double
sideband (DSB) modulator that utilizes a high-performance GaAs
pHEMT-based MMIC chip to offer superior RF performance. The
modulator supports the full waveguide band operation from 50 to 75
GHz. The modulator also supports an extremely broad bandwidth of IF
from DC to 25 GHz. The mixer offers a typical conversion loss of 13 dB
across the full waveguide bandwidth and a high input P1dB of +10 dBm
when the IF port is pumped at ± 2.5 VP-P modulation level. The
modulator is ideal candidate for high input P-1dB applications.

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.
SAGE Millimeter, Inc. 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 mixer is DC coupled. Use a DC block when connecting to other devices. Do not
apply an external bias voltage to the IF port.
Any foreign objects in the waveguide will cause performance degradation and possible device
damage.
Proper torque, 8.0 ± 0.15 inch-pounds (0.92 ± 0.02 Nm), should be applied. SAGE Millimeter
torque wrench, model SCH-08008-S1, is highly recommended.
