Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC1081 is a double balanced mixer. It can be
used as an upconverter or a downconverter, with DC
to 26 GHz at the IF port and 50 to 75 GHz at the RF
port. This passsive MMIC mixer is fabricated with
GaAs Shottky diode technology. All bond pads and
the die backside are Ti/Au metallized and the Shottky
devices are fully passivated for reliable operation. All
data shown herein is measured with the chip in a 50
Ohm environment and contacted with RF probes.
