General Description

The HMC129G8 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 f 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: 8 dB

LO to RF and IF Isolation: 30 dB

Small Size, No DC Bias Required

Typical Applications

The HMC129G8 is ideal for:

• UNII & HiperLAN

• Military & Space
