HMC316MS8 / 316MS8E v02.0505 GaAs MMIC HIGH IP3 DOUBLEBALANCED MIXER, 1.5 - 3.8 GHz Designer’s Kit Available MIXERS - SMT 7 Typical Applications Features The HMC316MS8 / HMC316MS8E is ideal for: Conversion Loss: 8 dB • Cellular Basestations LO/RF Isolation: >35 dB • Cable Modems Input IP3: +25 dBm • Fixed Wireless Access Systems Ultra Small Package: <1 mm High • WiMAX Included in the HMC-DK003 Designer’s Kit Functional Diagram General Description The HMC316MS8 & HMC316MS8E are miniature double balanced mixers in 8 lead plastic surface mount packages. The passive GaAs schottky diode mixer implements planar on chip balun transformers, and requires no external components. The mixer can be used as an upconverter, downconverter, or modulator. At mid-band the mixer provides 7.5 dB conversion loss and +25 dBm IIP3 with LO drive levels of +19 dBm. The design was optimized for low cost high volume applications where high converter linearity is required.
