Patent Pending
Features
Description
The AM028S2-A2 is a broadband millimeterwave mixer in a rugged surface mount package that is compatible with high volume solder installation. The single balanced up converter mixer is designed for use in millimeterwave communication and sensor systems as a frequency conversion stage in the transmit chain when wide dynamic range and high linearity are required. The robust ceramic surface mount package provides excellent electrical performance and a high degree of environmental protection for long-term reliability. All mixers are screened at the operating frequencies prior to shipment for guaranteed performance. Mixer is targeted for high volume millimeterwave applications such as point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless communications systems.

Mounting the Package
The Alpha Two surface mount package is compatible with high-volume surface mount installation using solder. RF, LO and IF connections are accomplished with metallized edge castellations that hold solder fillets. Ground connections are accomplished by both metallized edge castellations and filled vias to the bottom of the package. Care should be taken to ensure that there are no voids or gaps in the solder so that good RF, LO, IF, and ground contact is maintained.
Package Construction
The Alpha Two surface mount package consists of a base and a lid. The package base is ceramic with filled vias and plated castellations. The package lid is unplated alumina. The lid seal is epoxy.
Mounting Design
The Alpha Two surface mount package is installed on top of a printed circuit board on a specially designed footprint. Mounting footprint geometry will be supplied by Alpha Industries in electronic formats or paper drawing.
