HMC711LC5 v01.0210 mixers - i/q mixers, IRMs & Receivers - SMT 9 GaAs MMIC SUB-HARMONIC UPCONVERTER, 17.7 - 23.6 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC711LC5 is ideal for: Conversion Gain: 15 dB • Point-to-Point & Point-to-Multi-Point Radio 2 LO to RF Isolation: 10 dB • Military Radar, EW & ELINT High Output IP3: 28 dBm • Satellite Communications High Output P1dB: 17 dBm 32 Lead Ceramic 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm² Functional Diagram General Description The HMC711LC5 is a GaAs MMIC sub-harmonic upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant QFN SMT ceramic package. This compact upconverter provides a small signal conversion gain of 15 dB and wide IF bandwidth of DC - 3.5 GHz. The HMC711LC5 utilizes a mixer which is driven by an active x2 multiplier and followed by a high linearity amplifier. The HMC711LC5 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style subharmonic upconverter assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
