This document describes the features and characteristics of the HMC214MS8 / 214MS8E High IP3 GaAs MMIC MIXER, including +34 dBm input IP3, 28 dB LO to RF isolation, +22 dBm input P1dB, no external components required, etc.
The HMC214MS8 and HMC214MS8E are general purpose high dynamic range passive MMIC mixers in plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini Small Outline Packages (MSOP) covering 2.4 to 4.0 GHz. They provide excellent input IP3 performance of +34 dBm for downconversion and +31 dBm for upconversion at an LO drive of +17 dBm. With a 1dB compression of +22 dBm, the RF port accepts a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss is 10 dB typical, and LO isolations are maintained at 25 to 30 dB. This miniature single-ended monolithic GaAs FET mixer does not require any external components or bias.
