DBL-BAL Mixer Module, 16 - 32 GHz

The HMC-C014 is a general purpose passive double-balanced mixer housed in a miniature hermetic module that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 16 and 32 GHz. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC-C014 provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures.

The mixer operates with LO drive levels from +9 dBm to +15 dBm and requires no DC Bias. The HMC-C014 may also be used as a Bi-Phase Modulator/Demodulator or phase comparator. The module features removable coaxial connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
