HMC775LC5 v01.0809 MIXERS - I/Q MIXERS, IRMS & RECEIVERS - SMT 8 GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER W/ LO AMPLIFIER, 10 - 16 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC775LC5 is ideal for: Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 3.5 GHz • Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Image Rejection: 25 dB • Digital Radio LO to RF Isolation: 45 dB • VSAT High Input IP3: +25 dBm • Military & Space Upconversion & Downconversion Applications 0 dBm LO Drive 32 Lead 5x5 mm SMT Package: 25mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC775LC5 is a compact I/Q MMIC mixer in a leadless ceramic SMT package, which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The mixer utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 1 GHz USB IF output. This product is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style Image Reject Mixers and Single Sideband Upconverter assemblies. The HMC775LC5 eliminates the need for wire bonding and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
