HMC141C8 is a miniature passive double-balanced mixer from Hittite Microwave Corporation that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter. The device is a passive diode/balun type mixer with high dynamic range and can handle larger signal levels than most active mixers due to the high third order intercept of 20 dBm.
The HMC141C8 is a miniature passive double-balanced mixer in a non-hermetic ceramic surface mount package. It operates as an upconverter or downconverter with a frequency range of 6 to 15 GHz for RF and LO signals. The device features high dynamic range and exceptional balance due to its MMIC implementation, making it suitable for microwave Pt to Pt radios and VSAT ground equipment.
