General Description
The HMC-C015 is a general purpose double-balanced
mixer housed in a miniature hermetic module which
can be used as an upconverter or downconverter
between 24 and 38 GHz. This mixer requires no
external components or matching circuitry. The
HMC-C015 provides excellent, LO to RF, and LO to
IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The
mixer operates with LO drive levels from +11 to +15
dBm and requires no DC bias. The HMC-C015 may
also be used as a Bi-Phase Modulator/Demodulator
or phase comparator. The module features removable
coaxial connectors which can be detached to allow
direct connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or
coplanar circuit.
