Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The HMC520A is a compact gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic
microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), in-phase quadrature (I/Q)
mixer in a 24-terminal, RoHS compliant, ceramic leadless chip
carrier (LCC) package. The device can be used as either an image
reject mixer or a single sideband upconverter. The mixer uses two
standard double balanced mixer cells and a 90° hybrid fabricated in
HMC520A
a GaAs, metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET)
process. This device is a much smaller alternative to a hybrid style
image reject mixer and a single sideband upconverter assembly.
The HMC520A eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing the
use of the surface-mount manufacturing techniques.
