HMC554 v02.1007 GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER, 11 - 20 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC554 is ideal for: High LO to RF Isolation: 46 dB Microwave Radio Passive Double Balanced Topology VSAT Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB Military & Space Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 6 GHz Communications, Radar & EW Robust 1,000V ESD, Class 1C Small Size: 0.83 x 1.12 x 0.1 mm 4 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC554 is a passive double balanced mixer that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 11 and 20 GHz. The miniature monolithic mixer is fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process, and requires no external components or matching circu- itry. The HMC554 provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF isolation due to optimized balun structures. Measurements were made with the chip mounted into in a 50 ohm test fi xture and includes the para- sitic effects of wire bond assembly. Connections were made with a 1 mil wire bond with minimal length (<12 mil). Electrical Specifi cations, T = +25 C, IF= 100 MHz, LO= +13 dBm* A Parameter Min. Typ. Max. Min. Typ. Max.
