Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC1093 chip is a sub-harmonically pumped
(x4) MMIC mixer with an integrated LO amplifier. The
HMC1093 chip is ideal for use as a downconverter
with 37 to 46.5 GHz at the RF port and DC to 7.5 GHz
at the IF port. The HMC1093 utilizes a GaAs PHEMT
technology and delivers excellent 4LO to RF isolation
of 20 dB, which eliminates the need for additional
filtering. The LO amplifier is a single bias (+3V) two-
stage design requiring only -1 dBm of LO power.
The RF and LO ports are DC blocked and matched
to 50 Ohms for ease of use. All data shown herein
is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture
connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) wire bonds of minimal
length <0.31 mm (<12 mils).
