General Description
The HMC141LH5 is a miniature passive double-
balanced mixer housed in a hermetic SMT leadless
package that can be used as an upconverter or
downconverter. The device is a passive diode/balun
type mixer with high dynamic range. The mixer can
handle larger signal levels than most active mixers
due to the high third order intercept of 20 dBm. MMIC
implementation provides exceptional balance in the
circuit resulting in high LO/RF and LO/IF isolations
and unit-to-unit consistency. The HMC141LH5 allows
the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques
and is suitable for high reliability military, industrial
and space applications.
