GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC554ALC3B is a general-purpose, double-balanced
mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant LCC package that can be
used as an upconverter or downconverter between 10 GHz and
20 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in a gallium arsenide (GaAs)
metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process,
and requires no external components or matching circuitry. The
HMC554ALC3B provides excellent local osciallator (LO) to
radio frequency (RF) and LO to intermediate frequency (IF)
isolation due to optimized balun structures. The RoHS
compliant HMC554ALC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding,
and is compatible with high volume surface-mount manufacturing
techniques.
