HMC329LC3B

GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL

MIXER, 24 - 32 GHz

v03.1208

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Passive: No DC Bias Required

Input IP3: +18 dBm

LO/RF Isolation: 38 dB

Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 8 GHz

Robust 500V ESD, Class 1B

Typical Applications

The HMC329LC3B is ideal for:

• Point-to-Point Radios

• Point-to-Mulit-Point Radios & VSAT

• Test Equipment & Sensors

• Military End-Use

The HMC329LC3B is a general purpose double

balanced

mixer

in

a

leadless

RoHS

compliant

SMT package that can be used as an upconverter

or downconverter between 24 and 32 GHz. This

mixer requires no external components or matching

circuitry. The HMC329LC3B provides excellent LO to

RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun

structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels

above +9 dBm. The HMC329LC3B eliminates the

need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount

manufacturing techniques.
