General Description
The HMC-C009 is a passive I /Q MMIC mixer housed
in a miniature hermetic module which can be used
as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Side-
band Upconverter. The module utilizes two standard
Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree
hybrid fabricated on a GaAs MESFET process. This
MMIC based module is a more reliable and consis-
tent alternative to hybrid style I/Q Mixers and Single
Sideband Converter assemblies. The module features
removable SMA connectors which can be detached
to allow direct connection of the modules I/O pins to a
microstrip or coplanar circuit.
