HMC1063LP3E

v00.1012

GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER

24 - 28 GHz

General Description

Features

Typical Applications

The Hmc1063LP3e is a compact i/q mmic mixer in a

leadless “Pb free” smT package, which can be used

as either an image reject mixer or a single sideband

Upconverter. The mixer utilizes two standard Hittite

double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid

fabricated in a GaAs schottky diode process. A low

frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce

a 1000 mHz LsB iF output. This product is a much

smaller alternative to hybrid style image reject mixers

and single sideband Upconverter assemblies. The

Hmc1063LP3e eliminates the need for wire bonding

and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing

techniques.
