HMC-C047 v02.0711 GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER MODULE 30 - 38 GHz Features Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 3.5 GHz Image Rejection: 15 dB LO to RF Isolation: 35 dB High Input IP3: 19 dBm Hermetically Sealed Module Typical Applications 5 Field Replaceable SMA Connectors -55 to +85 C Operating Temperature The HMC-C047 is ideal for: * Point-to-Point Radios Mixers * Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT General Description * Test Equipment & Sensors The HMC-C047 is a passive I/Q MMIC mixer housed in a miniature hermetic module which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer (IRM) or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The module utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated on a GaAs MESFET process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 100 MHz Upper Side Band (USB) IF output. This MMIC based module is a more reliable and consistent alternative to hybrid style I/Q Mixers and Single Sideband Converter assemblies. The module features removable SMA connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit. * Military End-Use Functional Diagram Electrical Specifications, TA = +25 C, IF= 100 MHz, LO = +17 dBm* Parameter Min.

For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source/ sink more than 3mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. 5 Mixers This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
