HMC144LH5

GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED

MIXER, 6 - 20 GHz

v00.1206

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC144LH5 is a Double-Balanced MMIC Mixer

housed in a hermetic SMT leadless package which

can be used as an upconverter or downconverter

from 6 to 20 GHz. Broadband operation and excellent

isolations are provided by on-chip baluns, while no

external components or DC bias are required. The

HMC144LH5 is a more reliable alternative to hybrid

diode mixers, assuring consistent conversion loss

and isolation performance over multiple production

lots. The HMC144LH5 allows the use of surface

mount manufacturing techniques and is suitable

for high reliability, military, industrial and space

applications.

Input IP3: +24 dBm

LO/RF Isolation: 35 dB

IF Bandwidth: DC to 3 GHz

Screening to MIL-PRF-38535 (Class B or S) Available

Typical Applications

The HMC144LH5 is ideal for:

• Telecom Infrastructure

• Test Instrumentation

• Military Radio, Radar & ECM

• Space Systems
