HMC214MS8

HMC214MS8 / 214MS8E v01.1109 HIGH IP3 GaAs MMIC MIXER, 2.4 - 4.0 GHz Typical Applications The HMC214MS8 / HMC214MS8E is ideal for: • WiMAX, 802.16 • Fixed Wireless Access • Wireless Local Loop Features Input IP3: +34 dBm LO to RF Isolation: 28 dB +22 dBm Input P1dB No External Components Ultra Small MSOP Package: 14.8mm2 Included in the HMC-DK003 Designer’s Kit 9 MIXERS - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT Functional Diagram General Description The HMC214MS8(E) is a general purpose high dynamic range passive MMIC mixer in plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP) covering 2.4 to 4 GHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +34 dBm for downcon-version and +31 dBm for upconversion is provided for WiMax and other 3.5 GHz applications at an LO drive of +17 dBm. With a 1dB compression of +22 dBm, the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss is 10 dB typical and LO isolations are maintained at 25 to 30 dB. This miniature single-ended monolithic GaAs FET mixer does not require any external components or bias. The DC to 1 GHz IF frequency response will satisfy many transmit and receive frequency plans configured for low side LO. The HMC214MS8 & HMC214MS8E input IP3 performance coupled with its high P1dB rivals traditional active FET mixers while offering a much smaller 14.8mm2 standard IC footprint and no DC bias.
