HMC129G8 is a miniature double-balanced mixer in a hermetic surface mount package from Hittite Microwave Corporation. It can be used as an upconverter or downconverter. It is a passive diode/balun type mixer with high dynamic range and can handle larger signal levels than most active mixers.
The HMC129G8 is a passive diode/balun type GaAs MMIC mixer available in a hermetic surface mount package. It functions as an upconverter or downconverter and features high dynamic range due to its high third order intercept point. The device offers exceptional LO/RF and LO/IF isolations without requiring DC bias.
