General Description
LE
The HMC1043LC3 is a general purpose triple
balanced mixer that can be used as a frequency
converter with 16 to 22 GHz at the IF port and 26 to
32 GHz at the RF port. This mixer requires no external
components or matching circuitry. The HMC1043LC3
provides excellent LO/RF, LO/IF and 2LO/IF isolation
due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels from +9 dBm to +15dBm. The
HMC1043LC3 eliminates the need for wire bonding
and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing
techniques.

The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and exposed paddle should be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown.
A sufficient number of via holes should be used to
connect the top and bottom ground planes. The
evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
