HMC218B GaAs MMIC Miniature Double-Balanced Mixer

The HMC218BMS8GE from Analog Devices is an ultra-miniature double-balanced mixer in an 8-lead plastic surface-mount package (MSOP). This passive MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and novel planar transformer baluns on the chip. The device can be used as an up-converter, down-converter, bi-phase modulator / demodulator, or phase comparator. This mixer performs well when used as a down-converter from 3.5 to 8 GHz and as an up-converter from 4.5 to 8 GHz. The low conversion loss, high isolation, and wide IF bandwidth make this mixer ideal for a variety of Rx and Tx frequency plans.
