General Description

The HMC128G8 is a miniature double-balanced mixer in a hermetic surface mount package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter. The device is a passive diode/balun type mixer with high dynamic range. Noise fi gure is essentially equal to the conversion loss. The mixer can handle larger signal levels than most active mixers due to the high third order intercept. MMIC implementation provides exceptional balance in the circuit resulting in high LO/RF and LO/IF isolations.

Features

Conversion Loss: 10 dB

LO to RF and IF Isolation: >30 dB

High Third-Order Intercept: +18 dB

Typical Applications

The HMC128G8 is ideal for:

• Base Station

• MMDS

• WirelessLAN

• Wireless Local Loop
