HMC264LC3B v03.1208 GaAs MMIC SUB-HARMONIC SMT MIXER, 21 - 31 GHz Typical Applications The HMC264LC3B is ideal for: • Point-to-Point Radios Features Integrated LO Amplifier: -4 to +4 dBm Input Sub-Harmonically Pumped (x2) LO High 2LO/RF Isolation: 30 dB DC - 6 GHz Wideband IF RoHS Compliant 3x3 mm SMT Package 8 MIXERS - SUB-HARMONIC - SMT • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT • Test Equipment & Sensors • Military End-Use Functional Diagram General Description The HMC264LC3B is a 21 - 31 GHz Sub-harmonically Pumped (x2) MMIC Mixer with an integrated LO amplifier in a leadless “Pb Free” SMT package. The 2LO to RF isolation is excellent at 30 dB, eliminating the need for additional filtering. The LO amplifier is a single bias (+3V to +4V) design with only -4 to +4 dBm drive requirement. The RF and LO ports are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of use while the IF covers DC to 6 GHz. The HMC264LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
