GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC292A chip is a miniature, passive, gallium arsenide
(GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC),
double balanced mixer that can be used as an upconverter or
a downconverter within the 14 GHz to 32 GHz RF frequency
range with a small chip area. Excellent isolations are provided
by an on-chip balun that requires no external components and
no dc bias.
All data is measured with the chip in a 50 Ω test fixture
connected via 0.076 mm (0.003 inches) ribbon bonds of
minimal length <0.31 mm (<0.012 inches).
