Command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC329ALC3B is a general-purpose, double balanced frequency (IF) suppression due to optimized balun preliminary mixer in a leadless, RoHS compliant, surface-mount technology structures. The mixer operates with LO amplitude above 9 dBm. (SMT) package that can be used as an upconverter or down- The RoHS compliant HMC329ALC3B eliminates the need for converter between 24 GHz and 32 GHz. This mixer is fabricated wire bonding, allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing in a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated techniques. circuit (MMIC) process and requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC329ALC3B provides excellent local oscillator (LO) to radio frequency (RF) and LO to intermediate Rev. 0 Document Feedback Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.
