General Description

The HMC350MS8 & HMC350MS8E are miniature single balanced mixers in 8 lead plastic surface mount packages. The passive GaAs schottky diode mixer implements planar on chip baluns and requires no external components. The mixer can be used as an upconverter, down converter, or modulator. The mixer provides 7.5 dB conversion loss and +25 dBm IIP3 with LO drive levels of +19 dBm at mid-band. The design was optimized for low cost high volume applications where high converter linearity is required.
