Analog Devices Inc. HMC558A GaAs MMIC Fundamental Mixers
Analog Devices Inc. HMC558A GaAs MMIC Fundamental Mixers are general-purpose, double-balanced mixers that designers can use as an upconverter or downconverter between 5.5GHz and 14GHz. Developed using a gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process, the HMC558A Mixers from Analog Devices require no external components or matching circuitry.
Thanks to HMC558A's optimized balun structures, the mixers offer excellent LO to RF and LO to IF isolation. The mixers operate with LO drive levels as low as 9dBm. With its passive double-balanced topology, the HMC558A mixers deliver a typical 21dBm IIP3, 11.5dBm Input P1dB, and 55dBm IIP2 at 10GHz to 14GHz.
Features
- 7.5dB typical conversion loss at 5.5GHz to 10GHz
- Local oscillator (LO) to radio frequency (RF) isolation: 45dB typical at 5.5GHz to 10GHz
- LO to intermediate frequency (IF) isolation: 45dB typical at 10GHz to 14GHz
- Input third-order intercept (IIP3): 21dBm typical at 10GHz to 14GHz
- Input P1dB: 11.5dBm typical at 10GHz to 14GHz
- Input second-order intercept (IIP2): 55dBm typical at 10GHz to 14GHz
- Passive double-balanced topology
- DC to 6GHz IF bandwidth
- 12-lead ceramic leadless chip carrier package
Applications
- Point-to-point microwave radios
- Instrumentation, automatic test equipment (ATE), and sensor
- Military end-use
- Point-to-multipoint radios
