HMC-C009

GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER MODULE

4.0 - 8.5 GHz

v03.1007

General Description

Features

Typical Applications

The HMC-C009 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. This MMIC

based module is a more reliable and consistent al-

ternative to hybrid style I/Q Mixers and Single Side-

band Converter assemblies. The module features re-

movable SMA connectors which can be detached to

allow direct connection of the modules I/O pins to a

microstrip or coplanar circuit.
