HMC-C041 v02.0310 GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER MODULE 6 - 10 GHz Features Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 3.5 GHz Image Rejection: 35 dB LO to RF Isolation: 45 dB High Input IP3: +25 dBm Hermetically Sealed Module Typical Applications 5 The HMC-C041 is ideal for: -55 C to +85 C Operating Temperature * Point-to-Point Radios * Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT MIXERS Field Replaceable SMA Connectors * Test Equipment & Sensors * Military End-Use Functional Diagram General Description The HMC-C041 is a passive I/Q MMIC mixer housed in a miniature hermetic module which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The module utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated on a GaAs MESFET process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 100 MHz USB IF output. This MMIC based module is a more reliable and consistent alternative to hybrid style I/Q Mixers and Single Sideband Converter assemblies. The module features removable SMA connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
