Military electronic warfare (EW), electronic countermeasure (ECM), and command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I) GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC553ACHIPS is a general-purpose, double balanced, The HMC553ACHIPS provides high local oscillator (LO) to RF monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer that and LO to intermediate frequency (IF) suppression due to can be used as an upconverter or a downconverter between optimized balun structures for as low as 32 dB and 28 dB, 6 GHz and 14 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in a gallium respectively. The mixer operates with LO drive levels from arsenide (GaAs), metal semiconductor field effect transistor 9 dBm to 15 dBm. (MESFET) process and requires no external components or matching circuitry. Rev. 0 Document Feedback Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.
