GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC129ALC4 is a general-purpose, double-balanced
monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer housed
in a leadless Pb-free, RoHS compliant LCC package, that can be
used as an upconverter or downconverter in the 4 GHz to 8 GHz
band. The HMC129ALC4 is ideally suited for applications where
small size, no dc bias, and consistent IC performance are required.
This mixer can operate over a wide LO drive input of 9 dBm to
18 dBm. It performs equally well as a biphase modulator or
demodulator. The HMC129ALC4 eliminates the need for wire
bonding, allowing use of surface-mount manufacturing
techniques.
