HMC260

HMC260 / HMC260LC3B

GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) fundamental mixer chip and surface mount technology (SMT), 14 GHz to 26 GHz

Overview

  • Passive: no dc bias required
  • Input IP3: 20 dBm
  • Local oscillator (LO) to radio frequency (RF) isolation
    HMC260: 39 dB
    HMC260LC3B: 40 dB
  • Small size (HMC260): 1.0 mm × 0.55 mm × 0.1 mm
  • Wide intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth (HMC260LC3B): dc to 8 GHz
  • 12-Lead ceramic 3 mm × 3 mm SMT package: 9 mm2 (HMC260LC3B)

The HMC260 devices are double-balanced mixers available as a passive chip (HMC260) and a general purpose, leadless RoHS compliant SMT package (HMC260LC3B), both of which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 14 GHz and 26 GHz. These mixers require no external components or matching circuitry and provide excellent LO to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels greater than 9 dBm. Measurements for the HMC260 were made with the chip mounted and bonded into in a 50 Ω test fixture. Data includes the parasitic effects of wire bond assembly. Connections were made with a 3 mil ribbon bond with minimal length (<12 mil).The HMC260LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

Applications

  • Point-to-point radios 
  • Point-to-multipoint radios and very small aperture terminal (VSAT)
  • Test equipment and sensors 
  • Military end use
