Triple-balanced mixer serves mmwave transceivers

The HMC1015 triple-balanced GaAs MESFET MMIC mixer die is ideal for microwave and millimeterwave radios, military sensors, and test and measurement equipment applications. It accepts IF frequencies from 16 to 22 GHz and RF frequencies from 26 to 32 GHz.

In addition, it employs a passive architecture that requires no dc bias and no external components or matching circuitry. Features include an input IP3 of 20 dBm, a LO/RF isolation of 45 dB, a 2LO/IF isolation of 50 dB, and LO drive levels from 9 to 15 dBm. The HMC1015 is offered in bare-die form (size: 1.14 x 1.1 x 1.0 mm) and features RF I/Os that are internally matched to 50 Ω, allowing for simplified integration into higher-level modules and subsystems.($126.22 ea/10-99 — available now.)
