The HMC709LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 13 dB with -20 dBc of sideband rejection. The HMC709LC5 utilizes a driver amplifier preceded by an I/Q mixer which is driven by an LO buffer amplifier. IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to select the required sideband.The I/Q mixer topology reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted sideband. The HMC709LC5 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.ApplicationsPoint-to-Point & Point-to-Multi-Point RadioMilitary Radar, EW & ELINTKu Band VSAT UpconvertersSensorsTest & Measurement Equipment

The HMC712 devices are absorptive, voltage variable attenuators (VVAs) which operate from 5 GHz to 26.5 GHz or 30 GHz and are ideal in designs when an analog dc control signal must be used to control RF signal levels over a 28 dB or 30 dB amplitude rate. They feature shunt-type attenuators which are controlled by two analog voltages, VCTRL1 and VCTRL2. Optimum linearity performance of the attenuator is achieved by first varying VCTRL of the first attenuation stage from −3 V to 0 V with VCTRL2 fixed at −3 V. The control voltage of the second attenuation stage, VCTRL2, should then be varied from −3 V to 0 V, with VCTRL1 fixed at 0 V. However, if the VCTRL1 and VCTRL2 pins are connected together, it is possible to achieve the full analog attenuation range with only a small degradation in input IP3 performance. Applications include AGC circuits and temperature compensation of multiple gain stages in microwave, point-to-point, and VSAT radios. The voltage variable attenuator is housed in an RoHS compliant, 3 × 3 mm, QFN, leadless package.ApplicationsPoint-to-point radiosVSAT radioTest instrumentationMicrowave sensorsMilitary, ECM, and radar

The HMC712ALP3CE is an absorptive Voltage Variable Attenuator (VVA) which operates from 5 - 26.5 GHz and is ideal in designs where an analog DC control signal must be used to control RF signal levels over a 28 dB amplitude range. It features two shunt-type attenuators which are controlled by two analog voltages, Vctrl1 and Vctrl2. Optimum linearity performance of the attenuator is achieved by first varying Vctrl1 of the 1st attenuation stage from -5V to 0V with Vctrl2 fixed at -5V. The control voltage of the 2nd attenuation stage, Vctrl2, should then be varied from -5V to 0V, with Vctrl1 fixed at 0V. The HMC712ALP3CE is housed in a RoHS compliant 3x3 mm QFN leadless package.Furthermore, if the Vctrl1 and Vctrl2 pins are connected together it is possible to achieve the full analog attenuation range with only a small degradation in input IP3 performance.

The HMC713LP3E Logarithmic Detector/Controller is ideal for converting the power of RF signals with frequencies in the 50 MHz to 8000 MHz range, to a DC voltage, proportional to input power, at its output. The HMC713LP3E employs a successive compression technology which delivers 54 dB of dynamic range with high measurement accuracy over a wide input frequency range. As the input signal is increased, successive amplifiers move into saturation one by one creating an accurate approximation of the logarithm function. The outputs of a series of detectors are summed, converted into voltage domain and buffered to drive the OUTP output.For detection mode, the OUTP pin is connected to the VSET input and will provide a nominal logarithmic slope of 17 mV/dB and an intercept of -68 dBm. The HMC713LP3E can also be used in the controller mode where an external voltage is applied to the VSET pin to create an AGC or APC feedback loop.ApplicationsCellular InfrastructureWiMAX, WiBro & LTE/4GPower Monitoring & Control CircuitryReceiver Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)Cellular InfrastructureAutomatic Gain & Power ControlMilitary, ECM & Radar
