HMC-C009

HMC-C009 v03.1007 GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER MODULE 4.0 - 8.5 GHz 12 CONNECTORIZED MODULES - MIXERS Features Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 3.5 GHz Image Rejection: 35 dB LO to RF Isolation: 40 dB High Input IP3: +23 dBm Hermetically Sealed Module l A li ti Typical Applications The HMC-C009 is ideal for: • Telecommunications Equipment • Test Equipment • Military Radios, Radar & ECM • Space Systems Field Replaceable SMA Connectors -55 to +85 °C Operating Temperature General Description The HMC-C009 is a passive I/Q MMIC mixer housed in a miniature hermetic module which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The module utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated on a GaAs MESFET process. This MMIC based module is a more reliable and consistent alternative to hybrid style I/Q Mixers and Single Sideband Converter assemblies. The module features removable SMA connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the modules I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.

This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source/ sink more than 3mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
