LTCC Arms Mixer For 7.3-To-20.0-GHz Systems
Frequency conversion is one of the more critical functions within the RF/microwave portion of a highfrequency system. In spite of continuing advances in the speed and bit resolution of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), they rely on a frequency mixer to translate high-frequency signals within their bandwidth range. The model SIM-24MH+ frequency mixer from Mini-Circuits (Brooklyn,...

Upconverter Mixer Makes Most Of LTCC For ISM Applications
Wireless applications for many conjure up images of cellular networks in bands around 800 to 900 MHz and 1800 to 2000 MHz. But a growing number of wireless applications are making use of unlicensed spectrum in the Industrial-Scientific-Medical (ISM) bands around 2400 to 2500 MHz and 5725 to 5875 MHz. To facilitate designs at these higher ISM frequencies, Mini-Circuits (www.minicircuits.com) has developed a...

LTCC Launches Miniature, Wideband, Low-Cost Mixers
Low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) circuit materials lend themselves to high-performance components in extremely small footprints. They also are the foundation for a new series of broadband, low-cost mixers from a company synonymous with mixers, Mini-Circuits (Brooklyn, NY). The new mixer line employs patented techniques using LTCC and advanced semiconductor technologies to cover bandwidths from 750 MHz to 15 GHz. 1The versatile mixers can be used as...

What Is LTCC?
LTCC technology involves the production of multilayer circuits from ceramic substrate tapes or sheets. Conductive, dielectric, and resistive pastes are applied on each sheet or tape as needed, and then the sheets are laminated-together and fired (often in a precisely controlled oven or kiln) in one step. The resulting design is a hermetic, monolithic structure (see figure). A typical LTCC structure consists of multiple...

LTCC Leads To Tiny 90-deg. Splitter
Low-temperature-cofired-ceramic (LTCC) technology makes possible multilayer circuits with active and passive components occupying a fraction of the volume of conventional planar high-frequency circuits. Mini-Circuits' engineers applied their Blue...
