APPLICATIONS Ka band transponders Point to multipoint radios and very small aperture terminal (VSAT) Test equipment and sensors Military end use GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC1048ALC3B is a general-purpose, monolithic microwave The HMC1048ALC3B provides excellent local oscillator (LO) to integrated circuit (MMIC), double balanced mixer that can be used RF, LO to IF, and RF to IF isolation. The mixer operates with LO as a downconverter with dc to 4 GHz at the intermediate frequency drive levels from 9 dBm to 17 dBm. The HMC1048ALC3B (IF) port and 2.25 GHz to 18 GHz at the radio frequency (RF) port. eliminates the need for wire bonding and allows the use of surface- The mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. mount manufacturing techniques.
