Typical Applications
The HMC220MS8(E) is ideal for:
• VSAT & Mobile SatCom Terminals
• Microwave & Military Radio
• Wireless Backhaul Equipment
• Automotive, DSRC and IVHS
• Military RADAR, EW, and ECM Subsystems
The HMC220MS8(E) is a wideband double-balanced
mixer in an 8 lead plastic surface mount package. This
fully integrated MMIC mixer is fabricated in a GaAs
MESFET process and requires no DC bias and no
external matching components. The HMC220MS8(E)
mixer integrates Schottky diode mixing elements and
on-chip balun transformers to deliver excellent isola-
tion from LO to RF and from LO to IF. The wide IF
bandwidth of DC to 4 GHz enables this mixer to be
used in a wide range of general purpose applications
including upconverters, downconverters, biphase
modulators, demodulators, and phase comparators.
The HMC220MS8(E) operates with LO drive levels as
low as +7 dBm, and exhibits only 7 dB typical conver-
sion loss.
