The HMC292 is a miniature passive GaAs MMIC double-balanced mixer which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter from 18 - 32 GHz in a small chip area of 0.66 mm2. Excellent isolations are provided by on-chip baluns, which require no external components and no DC bias.
The HMC292 is a miniature passive GaAs MMIC double-balanced mixer designed for use as an upconverter or downconverter from 18 to 32 GHz. It features excellent on-chip isolations provided by baluns that require no external components or DC bias. The device is ideal for microwave point-to-point radios, LMDS, and SATCOM applications due to its small size of 0.58 mm x 1.04 mm.
| Conversion Loss | Typ. 9 dB |
|---|---|
| Noise Figure (SSB) | Typ. 9 dB |
| LO to IF Isolation | Typ. 40 dB |
| Operating Temperature | -55 to +85 °C |
| Chip Size | 0.58 mm x 1.04 mm |
No, the HMC292 requires no DC bias because excellent isolations are provided by on-chip baluns.
The typical LO drive power is +13 dBm.
Bonds should be less than 12 mils (0.31 mm) in length to minimize inductance.
