LO to IF isolation: 34 dB typical at 14 GHz to 30 GHz RF return loss: 10 dB typical at 14 GHz to 30 GHz LO return loss: 9 dB typical at 14 GHz to 30 GHz Wide IF frequency range: dc to 8 GHz Small size: 7-pad bare die CHIP APPLICATIONS Microwave and very small aperture terminal (VSAT) radios Test equipment Point to point radios Military electronic warfare (EW) electronic countermeasure (ECM) and command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I) GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC292A chip is a miniature, passive, gallium arsenide All data is measured with the chip in a 50 test fixture (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), connected via 0.076 mm (0.003 inches) ribbon bonds of double balanced mixer that can be used as an upconverter or minimal length <0.31 mm (<0.012 inches). a downconverter within the 14 GHz to 32 GHz RF frequency range with a small chip area. Excellent isolations are provided by an on-chip balun that requires no external components and no dc bias.
