The HMC141 and HMC142 are miniature GaAs MMIC double-balanced mixers designed for use as upconverters or RF downconverters. The devices operate in a frequency range of 6 to 18 GHz with an IF bandwidth from DC to 6 GHz. They feature on-chip baluns that require no external components and no DC bias, making them suitable for military, space, test equipment, and microwave applications.
