General Description
The HMC411MS8G & HMC411MS8GE are passive single balanced mixers that operates between 10 GHz and 15 GHz. The HMC411MS8G(E) operate with LO drive levels between +9 dBm and +15 dBm, and provide 9 dB conversion loss across the entire specified frequency band. These mixers require no external components or bias.

IF
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 2 mA of current or die non-function and possible die failure will result.

The circuit board used in the final application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
