HMC218AMS8E v00.0411 GaAs MMIC SMT DOUBLE- BALANCED MIXER, 4.5 - 6 GHz 9 Typical Applications Features The HMC218AMS8E is ideal for: Passive Double-Balanced Topology T • Basestations, Repeaters & Access Points Input IP3: +18 dBm M • WiMAX, WiBro & Fixed Wireless Low Conversion Loss: 6.5 dB S • Portables & Subscribers LO / RF Isolation: 30 dB - L • PLMR, Public Safety & Telematics LO / IF Isolation: 25 dB A Upconverter & Downconverter Applications B - L B Functional Diagram General Description D - The HMC218AMS8E is an ultra miniature double-bal- S anced mixer in an 8 lead plastic surface mount pack- R age (MSOP). This passive MMIC mixer is constructed E of GaAs Schottky diodes and novel planar trans- X former baluns on the chip. The device can be used as I M an upconverter, downconverter, biphase modulator / demodulator, or phase comparator. The low conver- sion loss, high isolation and wide IF bandwidth make this mixer ideal for a variety of Rx and Tx frequency plans.
