This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC-C014 provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels from +9 dBm to +15 dBm and requires no DC Bias. The HMC-C014 may also be used as a Bi-Phase Modulator/Demodulator or phase comparator. The module features removable coaxial connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit. • Test Instrumentation Functional Diagram Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, IF= 1 GHz, LO= +13 dBm* Parameter Min.

For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source or sink more than 2 mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. 3 RF This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
