HMC524LC3B

HMC524LC3B v02.1208 GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER 22 - 32 GHz Typical Applications The HMC524LC3B is ideal for: • Point-to-Point Radios Features Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 4.5 GHz Image Rejection: 20 dB LO to RF Isolation: 45 dB High Input IP3: +20 dBm RoHS Compliant 3x3 mm SMT Package 8 MIXERS - I/Q MIXERS, IRMS & RECEIVERS - SMT • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT • Test Equipment & Sensors • Military End Use Functional Diagram General Description The HMC524LC3B is a compact I/Q MMIC mixer which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The chip utilizes standard Hittite mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 100 MHz USB IF output. This product is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style Image Reject mixers and single sideband upconverter assemblies. The HMC524LC3B eliminates the need for wirebonding, allowing the use of surface mount techniques.
