HMC869LC5 v01.0614 GaAs MMIC I/Q DOWNCONVERTER 12 - 16 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC869LC5 is ideal for: Conversion Gain: 14 dB T •Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Image Rejection: 32 dB M •Military Radar, EW & ELINT LO to RF Isolation: 45 dB S E •Satellite Communications Noise Figure: 2.8 dB - S Input IP3: -1 dBm R 32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Ceramic Package: 25mm² T E V Functional Diagram General Description I E E C The HMC869LC5 is a GaAs MCM I/Q downconverter E in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. This R device provides a small signal conversion gain of & 14 dLB with a noise figure of 2.8 dB and 32 dB of image rejection. The HMC869LC5 utilizes an LNA followed S by an image reject mixer which is driven by an LO buf- M O fer amplifier. The image reject mixer eliminates the R need for a filter following the LNA, and removes ther- I mal noise at the image frequency. I and Q mixer out- , S puts are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed R S to select the required sideband. The HMC869LC5 is E a much smaller alternative to hybrid style image reject X mixer downconverter assemblies, and it eliminates I M the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of B Q surface mount manufacturing techniques. / I S - Electrical SpecifiOcations, TA = +25 °C, IF = 100 MHz, LO = +2 dBm, VD3 = 5V, VD1, VD2 = 3V* R E Parameter Min.
