HMC-C015 v06.0711 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE BALANCED MIXER MODULE, 24 - 38 GHz Features Passive: No DC Bias r equired input iP3: +20 dBm LO/r F isolation: 35 dB Wide iF Bandwidth: DC - 8 GHz Hermetically s ealed Module Typical Applications Field r eplaceable Coaxial Connectors The HMC-C015 is ideal for: -55 to +85 C Operating Temperature 5 Telecom infrastructure Military r adio, r adar & eCM General Description s pace s ystems Test instrumentation The HMC-C015 is a general purpose double-balanced mixer housed in a miniature hermetic module which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 24 and 38 GHz. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. The Functional Diagram HMC-C015 provides excellent, LO to r F, and LO to iF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels from +11 to +15 dBm and requires no DC bias. The HMC-C015 may also be used as a Bi-Phase Modulator/Demodulator or phase comparator. The module features removable coaxial connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the i/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
