HMC6146BLC5A v00.0812 GaAs MMIC I/Q UPCONVERTER 40 - 44 GHz Typical Applications Features The Hmc 6146BLc 5A is ideal for: c onversion Gain: 12 dB Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio s ideband r ejection: 25 dBc Military Radar, EW & ELINT High Output iP3: +27 dBm Satellite Communications 16 Lead 5x5 mm s mT c eramic Package: 25 mm Sensors Functional Diagram General Description The Hmc 6146BLc 5A is a compact GaAs mmic i/q variable gain upconverter in a leadless r oHs compliant sm T package. This device provides a small signal con- version gain of 12 dB with 25 dBc of sideband rejection, and 17 db of gain control. The Hmc 6146BLc 5A utilizes a r F variable gain amplifier preceded by an i/q mixer where the LO is driven by a x 2 multiplier. 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 Hmc6146BLc5A 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 man- ufacturing techniques. 1 2 Electrical Specifications , T = +25C, IF = 2350 MHz, A 1 2 LO = +4 dBm, VDLO1, 2 = +3V, IDLO = 150 mA, VDRF = +3V, IDRF = 200mA, USB Parameter min.
