HMC340LP5 v00.1203 MICROWAVE CORPORATION GaAs MMIC SMT DOUBLE-BALANCED DUAL MIXER, 1.7 - 4.5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC340LP5 Dual Mixer is ideal for: Conversion Loss: 8.0 dB • Wireless Infrastructure LO/RF Isolation: 45 dB • Wireless Local Loop LO/IF Isolation: 33 dB • Image Reject Mixer Input IP3: +20 dBm • I/Q Modulator Conversion Gain Balance: 0.1 dB • SSB Modulator 5 x 5 x 1 mm QFN SMT Package Functional Diagram General Description 12 MIXERS - SMT The HMC340LP5 is a double-balanced dual mixer covering 1.7 - 4.5 GHz RF/LO range. This passive MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and on-chip baluns. The device can be used as an upconverter, downconverter, biphase (de)modulator, or phase comparator. The mixer symmetry of the HMC340LP5 makes it an ideal candidate for single sideband or image rejection applications. The consistent MMIC performance will improve system operation and assure regulatory compliance. A low cost, leadless 5x5 mm QFN surface mount package (LP5) houses the dual MMIC mixer IC.
