Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC773LC3B is a general purpose double
balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT
package that can be used as an upconverter or
downconverter between 6 and 26 GHz. This mixer
requires no external components or matching
circuitry. The HMC773LC3B provides excellent LO to
RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun
structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels
above +13 dBm. The HMC773LC3B eliminates the
need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount
manufacturing techniques.
