HMC-C014

HMC-C014 v00.0805 GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER MODULE, 16 - 32 GHz 10 MIXERS - CONNECTORIZED MODULES Features Passive: No DC Bias Required Input IP3: +19 dBm LO/RF Isolation: 35 dB Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 8 GHz Hermetically Sealed Module Typical Applications The HMC-C014 is ideal for: • Telecom Infrastructure • Military Radio, Radar & ECM • Space Systems • Test Instrumentation Field Replaceable Coaxial Connectors -55 to +85 °C Operating Temperature General Description The HMC-C014 is a general purpose passive doublebalanced mixer housed in a miniature hermetic module that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 16 and 32 GHz. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC-C014 provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels from +9 dBm to +15 dBm and requires no DC Bias. The HMC-C014 may also be used as a Bi-Phase Modulator/Demodulator or phase comparator. The module features removable coaxial connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.

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 or sink more than 2 mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. 3 RF This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohm from 16 to 32 GHz.
