HMC520A

Data Sheet FEATURES RF range: 6 GHz to 10 GHz LO input frequency range: 6 GHz to 10 GHz Conversion loss: 8 dB typical at 6 GHz to 10 GHz Image rejection: 23 dBc typical at 6 GHz to 10 GHz LO to RF isolation: 43 dB typical LO to IF isolation: 25 dB typical Input IP3: 19 dBm typical Input P1dB compression: 10 dBm typical at 7.1 GHz to 8.5 GHz Wide IF frequency range: dc to 3.5 GHz 24-terminal, ceramic leadless chip carrier APPLICATIONS Point to point microwave radios Point to multipoint radios Video satellites Digital radios Instrumentation Automatic test equipment GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC520A is a compact gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), in-phase quadrature (I/Q) mixer in a 24-terminal, RoHS compliant, ceramic leadless chip carrier (LCC) package. The device can be used as either an image reject mixer or a single sideband upconverter. The mixer uses two standard double balanced 6 GHz to 10 GHz, GaAs, MMIC, I/Q Mixer HMC520A FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM 24 NIC 23 NIC 22 NIC 21 NIC 20 NIC 19 NIC NIC 1 NIC 2 GND 3 RF 4 GND 5 NIC 6 HMC520A 90° HYBRID 18 NIC 17 NIC 16 GND 15 LO 14 GND 13 NIC Figure 1.
