6 GHz to 26 GHz, GaAs MMIC Fundamental Mixer

The HMC773ALC3B is a general-purpose, double balanced mixer in a leadless, RoHS compliant LCC package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter from 6 GHz to 26 GHz. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry.

The HMC773ALC3B provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates well with LO drive levels of 13 dBm or above. The HMC773ALC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface-mount manufacturing techniques.
