General Description
The HMC292LC3B is a general purpose passive double balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS-Compliant SMT package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 16 and 30 GHz. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC292LC3B provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels above +9 dBm. The HMC292LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, IF= 1 GHz, LO= +13 dBm*
