The HMC488MS8G(E) is an ultra miniature double-balanced mixer with an integrated LO amplifier in an 8 lead plastic SMT MSOP8-G covering 4 - 7 GHz. This passive MMIC mixer integrates a GaAs Schottky diode quad, transformer baluns and a LO buffer on a single chip yielding a low conversion loss of 7 dB coupled with an input IP3 of +15 dBm. The LO buffer amplifier can be driven from 0 to +6 dBm and requires a single supply of +5V @ 46 mA. The device can be used as an upconverter, downconverter or bi-phase (de)modulator for a variety of point-to-point/multipoint, VSAT, telemetry or broadband WLAN applications. Applications * Basestations & Repeaters * Access Points & Subscribers * UNII, ISM, WLAN & WiMAX * Point to Point/Multi-Point Radios * VSAT Radio * Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB * Double-Balanced Topology * Integrated LO Amp: 0 to +6 dBm Drive
