This document describes the features and functionality of the HMC130 GaAs MMIC double-balanced mixer, including conversion loss, isolation, and input IP3. The mixer is suitable for applications such as microwave and VSAT radios, test equipment, military electronic warfare, and space telecommunications.
The HMC130 is a miniature GaAs MMIC double-balanced mixer designed for operation in the 6 to 11 GHz frequency range. It is capable of functioning as both an upconverter and a downconverter without the need for DC bias or external baluns, making it ideal for compact microwave applications. Key features include a typical conversion loss of 7 dB and input IP3 of +17 dBm.
