GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC260ALC3B is a general-purpose, double balanced,
monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer housed in
a leadless, Pb-free, RoHS compliant LCC package. The device
can be used as an upconverter or downconverter in the 10 GHz to
26 GHz frequency range. The HMC260ALC3B mixer requires no
external components or matching circuitry.
The HMC260ALC3B provides local oscillator (LO) to radio
frequency (RF) and LO to intermediate frequency (IF)
suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer
operates with LO amplitude levels between 9 dBm and 15 dBm.
The HMC260ALC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding,
allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing techniques.
