HMC218BMS8GE v01.0616 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER 3.5 - 8 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC218BMS8GE is ideal for: Passive Double-Balanced Topology Base stations, Repeaters & Access Points Input IP3: +17 dBm WiMAX, WiBro & Fixed Wireless Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB Portables & Subscribers LO to RF Isolation: 38 dB PLMR, Public Safety & Telematics LO to IF Isolation: 32 dB Up-converter & Down-converter Applications Functional Diagram General Description The HMC218BMS8GE is an ultra miniature dou- ble-balanced mixers in an 8 lead plastic surface mount packages (MSOP). This passive MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and novel planar transformer baluns on the chip. The device can be used as an up-converter, down-converter, bi-phase modulator / demodulator, or phase comparator. This mixer performs well when used as a down-converter from 3.5 to 8 GHz and as an up-converter from 4.5 to 8 GHz. The low conversion loss, high isolation and wide IF bandwidth make this mixer ideal for a variety of Rx and Tx frequency plans. 1 Electrical Specifications, T = +25 C, IF = 100 MHz, LO = +13 dBm, LSB A Parameter Min.
