Hittite's New SMT Mixer Targets 7 to 43 GHz Up/Downconversion Applications

Wide IF Bandwidth SMT Mixer Targets 7 - 43 GHz Up/Downconversion Applications Ideal for Microwave Radio, Military & Space, VSAT, Test & Sensors





Chelmsford, MA, 1/29/10 – Hittite Microwave Corporation, the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions for communication & military markets, has introduced a new passive GaAs MMIC Fundamental Mixer, which is ideal for upconversion and downconversion applications in microwave radio, VSAT, military and space, test equipment and sensor applications from 7 to 43 GHz.

This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry and exhibits up to +22 dBm input IP3, and a wide IF bandwidth spanning DC to 8 GHz. Due to optimized balun structures, the HMC774LC3B provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF suppression up to 40 dB. Typical conversion loss is 11 dB. This wideband mixer operates with LO drive levels of +15 dBm, and exhibits consistent conversion loss and compression across its entire operating bandwidth.

The HMC774LC3B is housed in a compact RoHS compliant leadless 3x3 mm ceramic SMT package and is ideal for a wide range of general purpose applications spanning 7 to 43 GHz. The HMC774LC3B is also available in die format as the HMC774.

Samples and evaluation PC boards for all SMT packaged products are available from stock and can be ordered via the company's e-commerce site or via direct purchase order.
