GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC8191 is a passive, wideband, I/Q monolithic
microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer that can be used
either as an image reject mixer for receiver operations or as a
single-sideband upconverter for transmitter operations. With a
radio frequency (RF) and local oscillator (LO) range of 6 GHz
to 26.5 GHz, and an intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth of
dc to 5 GHz, the HMC8191 is ideal for applications requiring a
wide frequency range, excellent RF performance, and a simple
design with fewer components and a small printed circuit board
(PCB) footprint. A single HMC8191 can replace multiple
narrow-band mixers in a design.
The inherent I/Q architecture of the HMC8191 offers excellent
image rejection and thereby eliminates the need for expensive
filtering for unwanted sidebands. The mixer also provides
Rev. C
excellent LO to RF and LO to IF isolation and reduces the effect
of LO leakage to ensure signal integrity.
Being a passive mixer, the HMC8191 does not require any dc
power sources. It offers a lower noise figure compared to an
active mixer, ensuring superior dynamic range for high
performance and precision applications.
The HMC8191 is fabricated on a gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal
semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process and uses
Analog Devices, Inc. mixer cells and a 90-degree hybrid. The
HMC8191 is available in a compact, 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-terminal
leadless chip carrier (LCC) package and operates over a −40°C to
+85°C temperature range. An evaluation board for the HMC8191
is also available from the Analog Devices website.

to dc, these pins must not source/sink more than 3 mA of current; otherwise, the device may not
function and may fail. See Figure 4 for the interface schematic.

HMC8191
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The HMC8191 is a passive, wideband, I/Q MMIC mixer
that can be used either as an image reject mixer for receiver
operations, or as a single-sideband upconverter for transmitter
operations. With an RF and LO range of 6 GHz to 26.5 GHz,
and an IF bandwidth of dc to 5 GHz, the HMC8191 is ideal
for applications requiring wide frequency range, excellent RF
performance, and a simple design with fewer components and
a small PCB footprint. A single HMC8191 can replace multiple
narrow-band mixers in a design.
The inherent I/Q architecture of the HMC8191 offers excellent
image rejection and thereby eliminates the need for expensive
filtering for unwanted sidebands. The double balanced architecture of the mixer also provides excellent LO to RF isolation
and LO to IF isolation, and reduces the effect of LO leakage to
ensure signal integrity.
Because the HMC8191 is a passive mixer, the HMC8191 does
not require any dc power sources. It offers a lower noise figure
compared to an active mixer, ensuring superior dynamic range
for high performance and precision applications.
The HMC8191 is fabricated on a GaAs MESFET process and
uses Analog Devices mixer cells and a 90° hybrid. The
HMC8191 is available in a compact, 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-terminal
LCC package and operates over a −40°C to +85°C temperature
range. An evaluation board for the HMC8191 is also available
from the Analog Devices website.
For both upconversion and downconversion, an external 90°
hybrid is required. See the Applications Information section for
details to interface with an external 90° hybrid.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
sideband, connect IF1 to the 0° port of the hybrid and IF2 to the
90° port of the hybrid. The input is from the sum port of the
hybrid and the difference port is 50 Ω terminated.
Figure 149 shows the typical application circuit for the HMC8191.
To select the appropriate sideband, an external 90° hybrid is
needed. For applications not requiring operation to dc, use an
off-chip dc blocking capacitor. For applications that require the
LO signal at the output to be suppressed, use a bias tee or RF
feed as shown in Figure 149. Ensure that the source or sink
current used for LO suppression is
