MIXERS v03.0310 Typical Applications 5 The HMC-C042 is ideal for: Point-to-Point Radios Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT Test Equipment & Sensors Military End-Use Functional Diagram HMC-C042 GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER MODULE 8.5 - 13.5 GHz Features Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 2 GHz Image Rejection: 28 dB LO to RF Isolation: 38 dB High Input IP3: +25 dBm Hermetically Sealed Module Field Replaceable SMA Connectors -55 to +85 °C Operating Temperature General Description The HMC-C042 is a passive I/Q MMIC mixer housed in a miniature hermetic module which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The module utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated on a GaAs MESFET process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 100 MHz USB IF output. This MMIC based module is a more reliable and consistent alternative to hybrid style I/Q Mixers and Single Sideband Converter assemblies. The module features removable SMA connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit. 5 - 34 Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, IF= 100 MHz, LO = +19 dBm* Parameter Min.
