MX01 is a low-power, low-noise VHF monolithic double-balanced mixer (frequency converter). It integrates an input amplifier, on-board oscillator and voltage regulator, with the core function of downconverting high-frequency signals that are difficult to receive directly to bands receivable by ordinary radio equipment or SDR, greatly extending the frequency coverage of receiving devices. Featuring a compact metal shielded enclosure with excellent performance and few external components, it is designed for building high-performance, low-power communication systems. Widely used by radio enthusiasts to extend HF shortwave reception capability for RTL-SDR and other ordinary software radio receivers, for shortwave broadcast and amateur radio communication monitoring. Also suitable for RF front-end circuit design requiring low power consumption and high sensitivity, signal monitoring systems, and various portable/outdoor communication receiving equipment.
Operating frequency range: 150 KHz–30 MHz (LO: 125MHz) Input/output impedance: 50 Ω Supply voltage/current: 5 V / 0.32 A Noise figure: typical < 4.7 dB (at 45MHz) Dimensions & weight: 5 × 4 × 1.6 cm / 38 g
