HMC925LC5

HMC925LC5 v01.0910 GaAs MMIC I/Q UPCONVERTER 5.5 - 8.6 GHz Features High conversion Gain: 16.5 dB excellent sideband rejection: -30 dBc LO / rF rejection: 22 dBc High Output iP3: +29 dBm 32 Lead 5x5 mm smT ceramic Package: 25 mm² 9 mixers - i/q mixers, irms & receivers - smT Typical Applications The Hmc925Lc5 is ideal for: • Point-to-Point and Point-to-multi-Point radio • military radar, eW & eLiNT • satellite communications • sensors Functional Diagram General Description The Hmc925Lc5 is a compact GaAs mmic i/q upconverter in a leadless roHs compliant smT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 16.5 dB with 30 dBc of sideband rejection. The Hmc925Lc5 utilizes a rF amplifier preceded by an i/q mixer where the LO is driven by a driver amplifier. iF1 and iF2 mixer inputs are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to select the required sideband. The i/q mixer topology reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted sideband. The Hmc925Lc5 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
