Passive: No DC Bias Required
Small Size: 1.04 x 0.58 x 0.1 mm
General Description
The HMC292 chip is a miniature passive GaAs MMIC
double-balanced mixer which can be used as an
upconverter or downconverter from 18 - 32 GHz in a
small chip area of 0.66 mm². Excellent isolations are
provided by on-chip baluns, which require no exter-
nal components and no DC bias. All data is measured
with the chip in a 50 ohm test fixture connected via
0.076 mm (3 mil) ribbon bonds of minimal length <0.31
mm (<12 mils).
