General Description
The HMC709LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q
upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT
package. This device provides
a small signal
conversion gain of 13 dB with -20 dB of sideband
rejection. The HMC709LC5 utilizes a driver amplifier
preceded by an I/Q mixer which is driven by an LO
buffer amplifier. IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs are provided
and an external 90° hybrid is needed to select the
required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces
the need for filtering of the unwanted sideband. The
HMC709LC5 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid
style single sideband upconverter assemblies and it
eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the
use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
