Hi folks

I'm considering using Analog Device's HMC218BMS8GE mixer (http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/609/hmc218b-879330.pdf) as a down converter for one of my projects. However I am trying to determine the minimum RF input power that I would need to supply the mixer for usable operation. It seems like AD do not provide the Noise Figure (NF) in the data sheet which is what I usually use to determine the MDS for the RF input.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
