HMC558LC3B v03.0514 GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER, 5.5 - 14.0 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC558LC3B is ideal for: Passive Double Balanced Topology Point-to-Point Radios High LO/RF Isolation: 45 dB Point-to-Multi-Point Radios Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB Test Equipment & Sensors Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 6 GHz Military End-Use 2 12 Lead Ceramic 3x3mm SMT Package: 9mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC558LC3B is a general purpose double balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 5.5 and 14 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process, and requires no external components or matching cir- cuitry. The HMC558LC3B provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF isolation due to optimized balun structures and operates with LO drive levels as low as +9 dBm. The RoHS compliant HMC558LC3B elim- inates the need for wire bonding, and is compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing techniques.
