General Description
The HMC316MS8 & HMC316MS8E are miniature
double balanced mixers in 8 lead plastic surface
mount packages. The passive GaAs schottky diode
mixer implements planar on chip balun transformers,
and requires no external components. The mixer can
be used as an upconverter, downconverter, or modu-
lator. At mid-band the mixer provides 7.5 dB conver-
sion loss and +25 dBm IIP3 with LO drive levels of
+19 dBm. The design was optimized for low cost high
volume applications where high converter linearity is
required.
