Esnittite HMC170C8 MICROWAVE CORPORATION GAAS MMIC SMT DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER 2.5-4 GHz FEBRUARY 1998 * Features General Description CONVERSION LOSS: 9.048 The HMC170C8 is a miniature double-bal- anced mixer in a non- hermetic ceramic LO TO RF ISOLATION: > 45 dB . surface mount package that can be used as an upconverter, downconverter or biphase modulator. The device is a passive diode/ SMALL SIZE, NO DC BIAS REQUIRED balun type mixer with high dynamic range. Noise figure is essentially equal to the con- version loss. The mixer can handle larger signal levels than most active mixers due to the high third order intercept. MMIC imple- mentation provides exceptional balance in the circuit resulting in high LO/RF and LO/IF isolations and unit-to-unit consistency. This mixer has applications in VSAT, microwave point-to-point radios, RADAR, and other cir- cuits where small size and surface mount compatibility are important. SURFACE MOUNT .
