SiGe (Silicon-germanium) BiKMOS microwave MMIC mixer implements the Gilbert active mixer circuit.

The features of the circuit are:

  • the mixer can be included in both receiving and transmitting paths;
  • the output of the circuit is implemented as an open collector, so the output can be of different types - unipolar or differential;
  • input mixer can work with any type of signal;
  • implemented the ability to switch the mixer to sleep mode.

The microcircuits are designed to operate as a mixer of the receiving and transmitting paths in the frequency range up to 2 GHz, with a possible extension of the band to 4 GHz.
