v01.0909

General description

Features

Functional diagram

Passive: No DC Bias required

High input iP3: +22 dBm

High LO/rF isolation: 38 dB

Wide iF Bandwidth: DC - 10 GHz

Upconversion & Downconversion Applications

Die size: 1.37 x 0.96 x 0.1 mm

typical Applications

The HmC773 is ideal for:

• Point-to-Point radios

• Point-to-multi-Point radios & VsAT

• Test equipment & sensors

• military end-Use

The HmC773 is a general purpose double balanced

mixer chip that can be used as an upconverter or

downconverter between 6 and 26 GHz. This mixer

requires no external components or matching cir-

cuitry. The HmC773 provides excellent LO to rF and

LO to iF isolation due to optimized balun structures.

The mixer operates with LO drive levels of +13 dBm.

The HmC773 wideband mixer exhibits consistent

conversion gain and compression across its band-

width. The HmC773 is also available in smT format as

the HmC773LC3B.
