General Description
The HMC663LC3 is a general purpose double
balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant ceramic
SMT package that can be used as an upconverter or
downconverter between 6 and 12 GHz. This passive
mixer is fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process,
requires no DC Bias and no external components or
matching circuitry.
The HMC663LC3 provides excellent LO to RF and LO
to IF isolation due to optimized balun structures and
operates with LO drive levels as low as +17 dBm. The
HMC663LC3 eliminates the need for wire bonding,
and is compatible with high volume surface mount
manufacturing techniques.
