General Description

The HMC709LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 13 dB with -20 dB of sideband rejection. The HMC709LC5 utilizes a driver amplifi er preceded by an I/Q mixer which is driven by an LO buffer amplifi er. IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces the need for fi ltering of the unwanted sideband. The HMC709LC5 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
