HMC966LP4E v03.1012 GaAs MMIC I/Q DOWNCONVERTER 17 - 20 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMc 966LP4e is ideal for: c onversion Gain: 14 dB Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio image r ejection: 40 dBc Military Radar, EW & ELINT 2 LO to r F isolation: 40 dB Satellite Communications Noise Figure: 2.5 dB input iP3: 0 dBm 24 Lead 4x 4 mm s MT Package: 16mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMc966LP4e is a compact GaAs MMic i/Q downconverter in a leadless roHs compliant sMT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 14 dB with a noise figure of 2.5 dB and 40 dBc of image rejection across the frequency band. The HMc 966LP4e utilizes an LNA followed by an image reject mixer which is driven by an active x2 multiplier. The image reject mixer eliminates the need for a filter following the LNA, and removes thermal noise at the image frequency. i and Q mixer outputs are provided and an external 90 hybrid is needed to select the required sideband. The HMc 966LP4e is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style image reject mixer downconverter assemblies, and is compatible with surface mount manufacturing techniques. 1 Electrical Specifications, T = +25 C, IF = 1000 MHz, LO = +6 dBm, Vdd = 3.5 Vdc LSB A Parameter Min.
