HMC129LC4 v03.0414 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER, 4 - 8 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC129LC4 is ideal for: Conversion Loss: 7 dB Microwave & VSAT Radios LO to RF and IF Isolation: 40 dB Test Equipment Input IP3: +17 dBm 3 Military EW, ECM, C I RoHS Compliant 4x4 mm SMT Package Functional Diagram General Description The HMC129LC4 is a general purpose double- balanced MMIC mixer housed in a leadless PB Free RoHS-Compliant SMT package which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter in the 4 to 8 GHz band. The HMC129LC4 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 to +15 dBm. It performs equally well as a Bi-Phase modulator or demodulator. The HMC129LC4 eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
