HMC129

v04.1007 Typical Applications The HMC129 is ideal for: Microwave & VSAT Radios Test Equipment Military EW, ECM, C3I Space Telecom 4 Functional Diagram HMC129 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER, 4 - 8 GHz Features Conversion Loss: 7 dB LO to RF and IF Isolation: 40 dB Input IP3: +17 dBm No DC Bias Required Die Size: 1.40 x 1.40 x 0.1 mm General Description The HMC129 chip is a miniature double-balanced mixer which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter in the 4 to 8 GHz band. The chip can be integrated directly into hybrid MICs without DC bias or external baluns to provide an extremely compact mixer. It is ideally suited for applications where small size, no DC bias, and consistent IC performance are required. This mixer can operate over a wide LO drive input of +9 to +15 dBm. It performs equally well as a Bi-Phase modulator or demodulator. See the HMC136 data sheet. MIXERS - DOUBLE-BALANCED - CHIP Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, LO Drive = +15 dBm* Parameter Min.
