GaAs MMIC Sub-Harmonic I/Q Mixer, 71 - 86 GHz

The HMC1057 is a sub-harmonically pumped MMIC Mixer which can be used as either an Image reject mixer (IRM) or a single sideband upconverter. This passsive MMIC mixer is fabricated with GaAs Shottky diode technology. For downconversion applications, an external quadrature hybrid can be used to select the desired sideband while rejecting image signals. All bond pads and the die backside are Ti/Au metallized and the Shottky devices are fully passivated for reliable operation. All data shown herein is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm environment and contacted with RF probes.
