HMC521LC4 v04.0514 GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER 8.5 - 13.5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC521LC4 is ideal for: Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 3.5 GHz Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Image Rejection: 38 dB Military Radar LO to RF Isolation: 50 dB High Input IP3: +23 dBm 24 Lead 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC521LC4 is a compact I/Q MMIC mixer in a leadless Pb free RoHS compliant SMT package, which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The mixer utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 100 MHz USB IF output. This product is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style Image Reject Mixers and Single Sideband Upconverter assemblies. The HMC521LC4 eliminates the need for wire bonding allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques. Electrical Specifications, T = +25 C, IF= 100 MHz, LO = +15 dBm* A Parameter Min. Typ. Max.
