Point to point radios Military electronic warfare (EW) electronic countermeasure (ECM) and command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I) GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC553ALC3B is a general-purpose, double-balanced, The HMC553ALC3B provides local oscillator (LO) to radio gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated frequency (RF) and LO to intermediate frequency (IF) suppression circuit (MMIC) mixer housed in a leadless Pb-free, RoHS due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO compliant LCC package. The HMC553ALC3B can be used as an drive levels from 9 dBm to 15 dBm. The HMC553ALC3B upconverter or downconverter between 6 GHz and 14 GHz. eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface- mount manufacturing techniques. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. Rev. B Document Feedback Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.
