GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC129ALC4 is a general-purpose, double-balanced 18 dBm. It performs equally well as a biphase modulator or monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer housed demodulator. The HMC129ALC4 eliminates the need for wire in a leadless Pb-free, RoHS compliant LCC package, that can be bonding, allowing use of surface-mount manufacturing used as an upconverter or downconverter in the 4 GHz to 8 GHz techniques. band. The HMC129ALC4 is ideally suited for applications where small size, no dc bias, and consistent IC performance are required. This mixer can operate over a wide LO drive input of 9 dBm to Rev. 0 Document Feedback Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.
