HMC710LC5

HMC710LC5 v02.0109 GaAs MMIC I/Q UPCONVERTER 16 - 21 GHz Typical Applications The HMC710LC5 is ideal for: • Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Features High Conversion Gain: 12 dB Sideband Rejection: -20 dB 2 LO to RF Isolation: 12 dB Output IP3: +30 dBm RoHS Compliant 5x5 mm SMT Package 8 MIXERS - I/Q MIXERS, IRMS & RECEIVERS - SMT • Military Radar, EW & ELINT • Satellite Communications • Sensors Functional Diagram General Description The HMC710LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 12 dB with -20 dB of sideband rejection. The HMC710LC5 utilizes a driver amplifier preceded by an I/Q mixer where the LO is driven by an active x2 multiplier. IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted sideband. The HMC710LC5 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
