General Description
The HMC1042LC4 is a compact I/Q MMIC mixer in a
leadless “Pb free” SMT package, which can be used
as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband
Upconverter. The mixer utilizes two standard Hittite
double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid
fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process. A low frequ-
ency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 2000
MHz USB IF output. This product is a much smaller
alternative to hybrid style Image Reject Mixers
and Single Sideband Upconverter assemblies. The
HMC1042LC4 eliminates the need for wire bonding
and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing
techniques.
