HMC924LC5 v05.0614 GaAs MMIC I/Q UPCONVERTER 10 - 16 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC924LC5 is ideal for: High Conversion Gain: 15 dB Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Excellent Sideband Rejection: -30 dBc Military Radar, EW & ELINT LO / RF Rejection: 15 dBc Satellite Communications High Input IP3: 14 dBm Sensors 32 Lead 5 x 5 mm SMT Ceramic Package: 25 mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC924LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. This device provides a small signal con- version gain of 15 dB with -30 dBc of sideband rejection. The HMC924LC5 utilizes a RF amplifier preceded by an I/Q mixer where the LO is driven by a driver amplifier. IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs are provided and an external 90 hybrid is needed to select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted sideband. The HMC924LC5 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
