SPURIOUS AND HARMONICS PERFORMANCE
Mixer spurious products are measured in dBc from the RF output
power level. N/A means not applicable.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The HMC292A is a general-purpose, double balanced mixer
that can be used as an upconverter or a downconverter from
14 GHz to 32 GHz.
When used as a downconverter, the HMC292A down converts RF
between 14 GHz and 32 GHz to IF between dc and 8 GHz.
When used as an upconverter, the mixer up converts IF between dc
and 8 GHz to RF between 14 GHz and 30 GHz.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 35 shows the typical application circuit for the
HMC292A. The HMC292A is a passive device and does not
require any external components. The LO and RF pins are
internally ac-coupled. The IF pin is internally dc-coupled. Use
an external series capacitor when IF operation is not required.
Choose a value that stays within the necessary IF frequency
range.
