GaAs MMIC I/Q Mixer, 8 - 12 GHz

The HMC1056LP4BE is a compact I/Q MMIC mixer in a leadless “Pb free” SMT package, which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The mixer utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated in a GaAs Schottky diode process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 100MHz LSB IF output. This product is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style Image Reject Mixers and Single Sideband Upconverter assemblies. The HMC1056LP4BE eliminates the need for wire bonding and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
