HMC340LP5 / 340LP5E v01.0705 GaAs MMIC SMT DOUBLE-BALANCED DUAL MIXER, 1.7 - 4.5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC340LP5 / HMC340LP5E Dual Mixer is ideal for: Conversion Loss: 8.0 dB • Wireless Infrastructure LO/IF Isolation: 33 dB • Wireless Local Loop Input IP3: +20 dBm • Image Reject Mixer Conversion Gain Balance: 0.1 dB LO/RF Isolation: 45 dB • I/Q Modulator Functional Diagram General Description The HMC340LP5 & HMC340LP5E are doublebalanced dual mixers 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 & HMC340LP5E make 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.
