General Description
The HMC144LC4 is a Double-Balanced MMIC
Mixer in a leadless “Pb free” SMT package which
can be used as an upconverter or downconverter
from 6 to 20 GHz. Broadband operation and 30 to
40 dB isolations are provided by on-chip baluns,
which require no external components or DC bias.
MMIC mixers are more reliable replacements to
hybrid diode mixers assuring consistent conversion
loss and isolation performance over high volume
production lots. The HMC144LC4 eliminates the
need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount
manufacturing techniques.
