Point to point radios Point to multipoint radios and very small aperture terminals (VSATs) Test equipment and sensors Military end use GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC773A is a general-purpose, double balanced mixer The HMC773A provides excellent local oscillator (LO) to radio chip that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter from frequency (RF) and LO to intermediate frequency (IF) suppression 6 GHz to 26 GHz. This mixer requires no external components due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates well with or matching circuitry. LO drive levels of 13 dBm or greater. The HMC773A is also available in surface-mount technology format as the HMC773ALC3B. Rev. A Document Feedback Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.
