General Description
The HMC141 chip is a minature double-balanced
mixer which can be used as an upconverter or down-
converter. The HMC142 is identical to the HMC141
except that the layout is a mirror image designed to
ease integration into image-reject mixer modules.
Broadband operation and excellent isolations are pro-
vided by on-chip baluns, which require no external
components and no DC bias. The design is similar
to the HMC143/144 mixers but without an IF com-
biner, providing a broad DC to 6 GHz IF bandwidth.
These devices are much smaller and more reliable
than hybrid diode mixers for VSAT and point-to-point
radios.
