General description

Features

Functional diagram

Passive: No DC Bias required

input iP3: +22 dBm

LO/rF isolation: 38 dB

Wide iF Bandwidth: DC - 8 GHz

typical Applications

The HMC773LC3B is ideal for:

• Point-to-Point radios

• Point-to-Multi-Point radios & VsAT

• Test equipment & sensors

• Military end-Use

The HMC773LC3B is a general purpose double

balanced mixer in a leadless roHs compliant sMT

package that can be used as an upconverter or

downconverter between 6 and 26 GHz. This mixer

requires no external components or matching

circuitry. The HMC773LC3B provides excellent LO to

rF and LO to iF suppression due to optimized balun

structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels

above +13 dBm. The HMC773LC3B eliminates the

need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount

manufacturing techniques.
