HMC329A
GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER, 25 - 40 GHz
Features
Passive: No DC Bias Required Input IP3: +19 dBm LO/RF Isolation: 42 dB Small Size: 0.85 x 0.55 x 0.1 mm
General Description
The HMC329A chip is a miniature passive double balanced mixer which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter from 25-40 GHz in a small chip area of 0.85 x 0.55 mm. Excellent isolations are provided by on-chip baluns, and the chip requires no external components and no DC bias. Measurements were made with the chip mounted and ribbon bonded into in a 50-ohm microstrip test fi xture that contains 5-mil alumina substrates between the chip and K-connectors.
