HMC1063LP3E v00.1012 mixers - i/q mixers, IRMs & Receivers - SMT GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER 24 - 28 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC1063LP3E is ideal for: Low LO Power: 10 dBm • Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 3 GHz • Military Radar, EW & ELINT Image Rejection: 21 dBc • Satellite Communications LO / RF Isolation: 40 dB • Sensors High Input IP3: 17 dBm 16 Lead 3x3 mm SMT Package: 9 mm² Functional Diagram General Description The HMC1063LP3E is a compact I/Q MMIC mixer in a leadless “Pb free” SMT package, which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The mixer utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated in a GaAs Schottky diode process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 1000 MHz LSB IF output. This product is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style Image Reject Mixers and Single Sideband Upconverter assemblies. The HMC1063LP3E eliminates the need for wire bonding and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
