Typical Applications

The HmC141 & HmC142 is ideal for:

• UNii & HiperLAN

• microwave & mmW radios

• military, space & Test equipment

The HmC141 chip is a minature double-balanced

mixer which can be used as an upconverter or down-

converter. The HmC142 is identical to the HmC141

except that the layout is a mirror image designed to

ease integration into image-reject mixer modules.

Broadband operation and excellent isolations are pro-

vided by on-chip baluns, which require no external

components and no DC bias. The design is similar

to the HmC143/144 mixers but without an iF com-

biner, providing a broad DC to 6 GHz iF bandwidth.

These devices are much smaller and more reliable

than hybrid diode mixers for VsAT and point-to-point

radios.
