Overview

Conversion loss: 7.5 dB typical at 5.5 GHz to 10 GHz
Local oscillator (LO) to radio frequency (RF) isolation: 45 dB typical at 5.5 GHz to 10 GHz
LO to intermediate frequency (IF) isolation: 45 dB typical at 10 GHz to 14 GHz
Input third-order intercept (IIP3): 21 dBm typical at 10 GHz to 14 GHz

Input P1dB: 11.5 dBm typical at 10 GHz to 14 GHz
Input second-order intercept (IIP2): 55 dBm typical at 10 GHz to 14 GHz
Passive double-balanced topology
Wide IF bandwidth: dc to 6 GHz
12-lead ceramic leadless chip carrier package

The HMC558A is a general-purpose, double-balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 5.5 GHz and 14 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in a gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal semi-conductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process, and requires no external components or matching circuitry.

The HMC558A provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF isolation due to optimized balun structures, and operates with LO drive levels as low as 9 dBm. The RoHS compliant HMC558A eliminates the need for wire bonding, and is compatible with high volume surface-mount manufacturing techniques.

Applications

Point to point microwave radios
Point to multipoint radios
Military end use
Instrumentation, automatic test equipment (ATE) and sensors
