HMC1048LC3B v04.0614 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER, 2 - 18 GHz Typical Application Features The HMC1048lC3b is ideal for: Passive: No DC bias required • Ka-band Transponders T High input iP3: 23 dbm M • Point-to-Multi-Point radios & VSAT lo/rF isolation: 38 db S • Test equipment & Sensors E lo/iF isolation: 28 db - D • Military end-use rF/iF isolation: 15 db e iF bandwidth: DC - 4 GHz T C Downconverter Applications N 12 lead Ceramic 3 x 3 mm SMT Package: 9 mm2 A Functional Diagram E l General Description A The HMC1048lC3b is a general purpose double b balanced mixer that can be used as a downconverter - e withL DC to 4 GHz at the iF port and 2 to 18 GHz at the l rF port. This mixer requires no external components b or matching circuitry. The HMC1048lC3b provides u O excellent lo/rF, lo/iF and rF/iF isolation The o mixer operates with lo drive levels from +9 dbm to D +17 dbm. The HMC1048lC3b eliminates the need for wire bonding and allows the use of surface mount - manufacturing techniques. r S e x i M B O Electrical Specifications, T = +25 °C, Downconverter, IF = 100 MHz, LO = +13 dBm[1] A Parameter Min.
