HMC1048LC3B v04.0614 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER, 2 - 18 GHz Typical Application Features The HMC1048l C3b is ideal for: Passive: No DC bias r equired Ka-band Transponders High input iP3: 23 dbm Point-to-Multi-Point r adios & VSAT lo /r F isolation: 38 db Test equipment & Sensors lo /iF isolation: 28 db Military end-u se r F/iF isolation: 15 db iF bandwidth: DC - 4 GHz Downconverter Applications 2 12 l ead Ceramic 3 x 3 mm SMT Package: 9 mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC1048lC3b is a general purpose double balanced mixer that can be used as a downconverter with DC to 4 GHz at the iF port and 2 to 18 GHz at the r F port. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC1048l C3b provides excellent lo /r F, lo /iF and r F/iF isolation The mixer operates with lo drive levels from +9 dbm to +17 dbm. The HMC1048l C3b eliminates the need for wire bonding and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques. 1 Electrical Specifications, T = +25 C, Downconverter, IF = 100 MHz, LO = +13 dBm A Parameter Min.
