Military end use GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC774ALC3B is a general-purpose, double balanced The mixer operates best with a LO drive level of 15 dBm mixer in a leadless, RoHS compliant, surface-mount package (typical). The HMC774ALC3B eliminates the need for wire that can be used as an upconverter or a downconverter between bonding, allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing 7 GHz and 34 GHz. This mixer requires no external techniques. components or matching circuitry. The HMC774ALC3B provides excellent LO to RF isolation and LO to IF isolation due to optimized balun structures. Rev.
