I/Q Mixer / IRM Module, 8.5 - 13.5 GHz

The HMC-C042 is a passive I/Q MMIC mixer housed in a miniature hermetic module which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. the module utilizes two standard Hittite double balance 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 USB IF output. The 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.
