The HMC136 is a GaAs MMIC BI-PHASE MODULATOR, which works in the 4 - 8 GHz band, has 30 dB of carrier suppression, and can be directly integrated into MIC circuits. It can also be used as a phase detector.
The HMC136 is a GaAs MMIC bi-phase modulator designed for frequencies between 4 and 8 GHz. It integrates directly into microwave designs to phase-modulate RF signals into reference and 180-degree states. The device also functions as a phase detector or demodulator, offering excellent amplitude and phase balance through closely matched monolithic circuits.
