ADE-1 is a surface-mount double-balanced passive RF mixer designed based on the ADE-1+ chip. It supports both upconversion and downconversion of signals, efficiently performing frequency translation. The device features low conversion loss, high isolation and excellent linearity (IP3), using an internal passive double-balanced structure that achieves stable RF mixing without external DC bias, making it an ideal core component for frequency translation in various wireless communication and RF front-end systems. Widely used in VHF/UHF band radio communication systems, software defined radio (SDR) devices, and transceiver front-ends for IF-to-RF and RF-to-IF up/down conversion. Also suitable for various RF test instruments, signal generation modules, and frequency synthesis and modulation/demodulation circuits in amateur radio equipment.
Frequency range: 500 KHz–500 MHz Local oscillator power (LO): +7 dBm Conversion loss: typical 5.0 dB Mixer type: double-balanced passive mixer Impedance: 50 Ω Operating current: 40 mA
