General Description
The HMC329LC3B is a general purpose double
balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant
SMT package that can be used as an upconverter
or downconverter between 24 and 32 GHz. This
mixer requires no external components or matching
circuitry. The HMC329LC3B 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. The HMC329LC3B eliminates the
need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount
manufacturing techniques.
Electrical Specifications, T_A = +25° C, IF= 1 GHz, LO= +13 dBm*
