HMC-MDB218 v01.0209 GaAs MMIC SUB-HARMONIC IRM MIXER, 54 - 64 GHz Typical Applications Features This HMC-MDB218 is ideal for: Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 3 GHz Short-Haul / High Capacity Radios RF Frequency: 54 to 64 GHz SATCOM LO Frequency: 27 to 32 GHz Military Radar, ECM & EW High Image Rejection: 30 dB 3 Sensors Passive No DC Bias Required Test & Measurement Equipment Die Size: 1.54 x 1.41 x 0.1 mm General Description Functional Diagram The HMC-MDB218 is a sub-harmonically pumped (x2) MMIC Mixer which can be used as either an image reject mixer (IRM) or a single sideband upconverter. This passive MMIC mixer is fabricated with GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Shottky diode technology. For downconversion applications, an external quadrature hybrid can be used to select the desired sideband while rejecting image signals. All bond pads and the die backside are Ti/Au metallized and the Shottky devices are fully passivated for reliable operation. The HMC-MDB218 Sub Harmonic IRM is compatible with conventional die attach methods, as well as thermocompression and thermosonic wire bonding, making it ideal for MCM and hybrid microcircuit applications. All data shown herein is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm environment and contacted with RF probes. Electrical Specifi cations*, T = 25 C, IF = 1 GHz, LO = +10 dBm A Parameter Min. Typ. Max.
