HMC6505A Overview
The HMC6505A is a pact gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic (pHEMT), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) upconverter in a RoHS pliant package that operates from 5.5 GHz to 8.6 GHz. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 15 dB with 22 dBc of sideband rejection. The HMC6505A uses a variable gain amplifier (VGA) preceded by an in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) mixer.
