HMC977LP4E v02.0815 GaAs MMIC I/Q DOWNCONVERTER 20 - 28 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC977LP4E is ideal for: Conversion Gain: 14 dB • Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radios Image Rejection: 21 dBc T • Military Radar, EW & ELINT 2x LO to RF Isolation: 45 dB M S • Satellite Communications Noise Figure: 2.5 dB - Input Third-Order Intercept: 1 dBm S LO Drive Range: 2 to 6 dBm R 24 Lead 4 mm x 4 mm SMT Package E V Functional Diagram General Description I E The HMC977LP4E is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q C downconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant E SMT package. This device provides a small signal R conversion gain of 14 dB with a noise figure of 2.5 & dB and 21 dBc of image rejection. The HMC977LP4E utilizes a low noise amplifier (LNA) followed by an S image reject mixer which is driven by an active 2x M multiplier. The image reject mixer eliminates the need R for a filter following the LNA and removes thermal I , noise at the image frequency. I and Q mixer outputs S are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to R select the required sideband. The HMC977LP4E is a E much smaller alternative to hybrid style image reject X mixer downconverter assemblies, and is compatible I M with surface mount manufacturing techniques.
