HMC558A Datasheet, PDF (13/15 Pages) Analog Devices – Conversion loss: 7.5 dB typical at 5.5 GHz to 10 GHz

Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The HMC558A is a general-purpose double balanced mixer in a
leadless RoHS compliant SMT package that can be used as an
upconverter or downconverter between 5.5 GHz and 14 GHz. This
mixer is fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process, and requires no
external components or matching circuitry. The HMC558A
provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF isolation due to
optimized balun structures and operates with LO drive levels as low
as 9 dBm. The RoHS compliant HMC558A eliminates the need for
wire bonding, and is compatible with high volume surface mount
manufacturing techniques.
