The HMC915LP4E is a high linearity, double-balanced converter that operates from 0.5 to 2.7 GHz and delivers a +28 dBm input IP3. The LO amplifier output and high dynamic range mixer input are positioned so that an external LO filter can be placed in series between them if necessary. The converter provides 28 dB of LO to RF isolation and is ideal for upconverter and downconverter applications. The IC operates from a single +5V supply consuming 88 mA and accepts LO drive levels of -2 to +4 dBm. The design requires no external baluns and supports IF frequencies between DC and 1 GHz. The HMC915LP4E is pin for pin compatible with the HMC552LP4E and the HMC215LP4E mixers with integrated LO amplifiers.ApplicationsPCS / 3G InfrastructureBTS & InfrastructureBase Stations & RepeatersWiMAX & WiBroISM & Fixed Wireless

The HMC917LP3E is an active x4 frequency multiplier housed in a 3x3 mm leadless QFN surface mount package. Power output is 2 dBm typical from a single +5V supply and varies little vs. input power, temperature and supply voltage. Suppression of undesired fundamental and spurious is 20 dBc typical with respect to output signal level. The low additive SSB phase noise of -148 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise performance. The HMC917LP3E is ideal for use in LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts count versus traditional approaches.ApplicationsMicrowave Radio & VSATMilitary Radios, Radar & ECMTest Instrumentation

The HMC924LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 15 dB with -30 dBc of sideband rejection. The HMC924LC5 utilizes a RF amplifier preceded by an I/Q mixer where the LO is driven by a driver 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 HMC924LC5 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 and Point-to-Multi-Point RadioBroadband Test & MeasurementMilitary Radar, EW & ELINTSatellite CommunicationsSensors

The HMC925LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 16.5 dB with 30 dBc of sideband rejection.

The HMC930A is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic, high electron mobility transfer (pHEMT), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), distributed power amplifier that operates from dc to 40 GHz. The HMC930A provides 13 dB of gain, 33.5 dBm output IP3, and 22 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression, requiring 175 mA from a 10 V supply. The HMC930A exhibits a slightly positive gain slope from 8 GHz to 32 GHz, making it ideal for electronic warfare (EW), electronic countermeasures (ECM), radar, and test equipment applications. The HMC930A amplifier inputs/outputs (I/Os) are internally matched to 50 Ω, facilitating integration into multichip modules (MCMs). All data is taken with the chip connected via two 0.025 mm (1 mil) wire bonds of minimal length at 0.31 mm (12 mils).ApplicationsTest instrumentationMicrowave radios and VSATsMilitary and spaceTelecommunications infrastructureFiber optics
