The 2LO to RF isolation is excellent at 30 dB, eliminating the need for additional filtering. The LO amplifier is a single bias (+3V to +4V) design with only -4 to +4 dBm drive requirement. The RF and LO ports are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of use while the IF covers DC to 6 GHz. The HMC264LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

External RF bypass capacitors are required as close to the package as possible. 2, 3 N/C No connection required. These pins may be connected to RF/DC ground without affecting performance. 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 GND Package bottom must also be connected to RF/DC ground. 5 LO LO Port. This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms from 10.5 - 15.5 GHz. 8 IF IF Port. This pin is DC coupled and should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. Any applied DC voltage to this pin will result in die non-function and possible die failure. 11 RF RF Port. This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms from 21 - 31 GHz.
