HMC710LC5 v03.0110 mixers - i/q mixers, IRMs & Receivers - SMT 9 GaAs MMIC I/Q UPCONVERTER 16 - 21 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC710LC5 is ideal for: High Conversion Gain: 12 dB • Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Sideband Rejection: -20 dBc • Military Radar, EW & ELINT 2 LO to RF Isolation: 12 dB • Satellite Communications Output IP3: +30 dBm • Sensors 32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm² Functional Diagram General Description The HMC710LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 12 dB with -20 dBc of sideband rejection. The HMC710LC5 utilizes a driver amplifier preceded by an I/Q mixer where the LO is driven by an active x2 multiplier. 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 filtering of the unwanted sideband. The HMC710LC5 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.
