Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC292LC3B is a general pupose passive
double balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS-Compliant
SMT package that can be used as an upconverter
or downconverter between 16 and 30 GHz. This
mixer requires no external components or matching
circuitry. The HMC292LC3B provides excellent LO
to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized
balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive
levels above +9 dBm. The HMC292LC3B eliminates
the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface
mount manufacturing techniques.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, IF= 1 GHz, LO= +13 dBm*
