HMC527LC4 v03.0514 GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER 8.5 - 13.5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC527LC4 is ideal for: Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 2 GHz T • Point-to-Point Radios Image Rejection: 35 dB M • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT LO to RF Isolation: 45 dB S • Test Equipment & Sensors High Input IP3: +28 dBm - S • Military End-Use 24 Lead 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm² R E V I Functional Diagram General Description E C The HMC527LC4 is a compact general purpose E I/Q MMIC mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT R package, which can be used as either an Image & Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The mixer utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced S mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated in a M GaAs MESFET process. A low frequency quadrature R hybrid was used to produce a 100 MHz USB IF output. I , This product is a much smaller alternative to hybrid Q style Image Reject Mixers and Single Sideband / I Upconverter assemblies. The HMC527LC4 eliminates - the need for wire bonding allowing use of surface S mount manufacturing techniques.
