HMC292LC3B

MIXERS - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT v06.0514 Typical Applications The HMC292LC3B is ideal for: Point-to-Point Radios Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT Test Equipment & Sensors Military End-Use Functional Diagram HMC292LC3B GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER, 16 - 30 GHz Features Passive: No DC Bias Required Input IP3: +20 dBm LO/RF Isolation: 40 dB Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 8 GHz Robust 1000V ESD, Class 1C 12 Lead Ceramic 3x3 mm SMT Package: 9mm2 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.
