General Description
The HMC1048LC3B is a general purpose double
balanced mixer that can be used as a downconverter
with DC to 4 GHz at the IF port and 2 to 18 GHz at the
RF port. This mixer requires no external components
or matching circuitry. The HMC1048LC3B provides
excellent LO/RF, LO/IF and RF/IF isolation The mix-
er operates with LO drive levels from +9 dBm to +17
dBm. The HMC1048LC3B eliminates the need for wire
bonding and allows the use of surface mount manu-
facturing techniques.
Electrical Specifications, T_A = +25 °C, Downconverter, IF= 100 MHz, LO = +13 dBm^[1]
