HMC218BMS8GE

MIXERS - DOUBLE-BALANCED - SMT HMC218BMS8GE v01.0616 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER 3.5 - 8 GHz Typical Applications The HMC218BMS8GE is ideal for: Base stations, Repeaters & Access Points WiMAX, WiBro & Fixed Wireless Portables & Subscribers PLMR, Public Safety & Telematics Features Passive Double-Balanced Topology Input IP3: +17 dBm Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB LO to RF Isolation: 38 dB LO to IF Isolation: 32 dB Up-converter & Down-converter Applications Functional Diagram General Description The HMC218BMS8GE is an ultra miniature double-balanced mixers in an 8 lead plastic surface mount packages (MSOP). This passive MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and novel planar transformer baluns on the chip. The device can be used as an up-converter, down-converter, bi-phase modulator / demodulator, or phase comparator. This mixer performs well when used as a down-converter from 3.5 to 8 GHz and as an up-converter from 4.5 to 8 GHz. The low conversion loss, high isolation and wide IF bandwidth make this mixer ideal for a variety of Rx and Tx frequency plans.
