WiMAX and fixed wireless Point to point radios Point to multipoint radios Test equipment and sensors Military end use GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC557A is a general-purpose, double balanced mixer in The HMC557A provides excellent local oscillator (LO) to radio a 24-terminal, ceramic leadless chip carrier, RoHS-compliant frequency (RF) and LO to intermediate frequency (IF) isolation package. The device can be used as an upconverter or down- due to optimized balun structures. The RoHS-compliant converter from 2.5 GHz to 7.0 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in HMC557A eliminates the need for wire bonding and is compatible a gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal semiconductor field effect tran- with high volume surface-mount manufacturing techniques. sistor (MESFET) process and requires no external components or matching circuitry.
