The HMC773 devices are general purpose double-balanced mixers available in a chip (HMC773) and a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package (HMC773LC3B), both of which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 6 GHz and 26 GHz. These mixers require no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC773 devices provide excellent LO to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixers operate with LO drive levels greater than 13 dBm. The HMC773 wideband mixer exhibits consistent conversion gain and compression across its bandwidth. The HMC773LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
