HMC142C8_08

HMC142C8 v03.1105 GaAs MMIC SMT DOUBLEBALANCED MIXER, 6 - 15 GHz Typical Applications The HMC142C8 is ideal for: • Microwave Point-to-Point Radios • VSAT Ground Equipment Features Input IP3: 20 dBm Conversion Loss: 8.5 dB LO to RF Isolation: 35 dB 9 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC142C8 is a miniature double-balanced mixer in a non-hermetic ceramic surface mount package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter. The device is a passive diode/balun type mixer with high dynamic range. The mixer can handle larger signal levels than most active mixers due to the high third order intercept. MMIC implementation provides exceptional balance in the circuit resulting in high LO/RF and LO/IF isolations and unit-to-unit consistency. This mixer has applications where small size and surface mount compatibility are important.
