HMC-C041

HMC-C041 v00.0307 GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER MODULE 6 - 10 GHz Features Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 3.5 GHz Image Rejection: 35 dB LO to RF Isolation: 45 dB High Input IP3: +25 dBm Hermetically Sealed Module Typical Applications Field Replaceable SMA Connectors -55 to +85 °C Operating Temperature 5 MIXERS The HMC-C041 is ideal for: • Point-to-Point Radios • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT • Test Equipment & Sensors • Military End-Use General Description The HMC-C041 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. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 100 MHz USB IF output. 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 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 from 6 to 10 GHz.
