General Description
The HMC260 is a passive double balanced mixer
that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter
between 14 and 26 GHz. The miniature monolithic
mixer (MMIC) requires no external components or
matching circuitry. The HMC260 provides excellent
LO to RF and LO to IF suppression 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 rib-
bon bond with minimal length (<12 mil).
