E-Band Low Noise Downconverter SiP 71 - 76 GHz

The HMC8326LG is a fully integrated System In Package (SiP) in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) downconverter that operates between an RF input frequency range of 71 GHz to 76 GHz and an IF output frequency range of DC to 2 GHz. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 8 to 13 dB with 30 dBc of image rejection. The HMC8326LG utilizes a low noise amplifier followed by an image rejection mixer which is driven by a 6x LO multiplier. Differential I and Q mixer outputs are provided for direct conversion applications. Alternatively, the outputs can be combined using an external 90° hybrid and two external 180° hybrids for single-ended applications.
