GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC329ALC3B is a general-purpose, double balanced
mixer in a leadless, RoHS compliant, surface-mount technology
(SMT) package that can be used as an upconverter or down-
converter between 24 GHz and 32 GHz. This mixer is fabricated
in a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated
circuit (MMIC) process and requires no external components
or matching circuitry. The HMC329ALC3B provides excellent local
oscillator (LO) to radio frequency (RF) and LO to intermediate
frequency (IF) suppression due to optimized balun preliminary
structures. The mixer operates with LO amplitude above 9 dBm.
The RoHS compliant HMC329ALC3B eliminates the need for
wire bonding, allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing
techniques.
