HMC260LC3B v05.0414 GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER, 14 - 26 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC260LC3B is ideal for: Passive: No DC Bias Required T • Point-to-Point Radios Input IP3: +20 dBm M • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT LO/RF Isolation: 40 dB S • Test Equipment & Sensors Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 8 GHz - D • Military End-Use 12 Lead Ceramic 3x3 mm SMT Package: 9mm2 E C N Functional Diagram General Description A L The HMC260LC3B is a general purpose double A balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant B SMT package that can be used as an upconverter E or downconverter between 14 and 26 GHz. This L mixer requires no external components or matching B U circuitry. The HMC260LC3B provides excellent LO to O RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels D above +9 dBm. The HMC260LC3B eliminates the & need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount E manufacturing techniques.
