LO/RF Isolation: 39 dB
Small Size: 0.55mm²
General Description
The HMC260 is a passive double balanced mixer
that can be used as an upconverter or down-
converter between 14 and 26 GHz. The minia-
ture monolithic mixer (MMIC) requires no external
components or matching circuitry. The HMC260
provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF sup-
pression due to optimized balun structures. The
mixer operates with LO drive levels above +9
dBm. Measurements were made with the chip
mounted and bonded into in a 50 ohm test fixture.
Data includes the parasitic effects of wire bond
assembly. Connections were made with a 3 mil
ribbon bond with minimal length (<12 mil).
