General Description
The HMC-C046 is a passive I/Q MMIC mixer housed
in a miniature hermetic module which can be used as
either an Image Reject Mixer (IRM) 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. A low
frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce
a 100 MHz Upper Side Band (USB) IF output. 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 I/O pins to a microstrip
or coplanar circuit.
