The HMC399MS8(E) is a high dynamic range passive MMIC mixer in plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP) covering 700 to 1000 MHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +35 dBm for down conversion and +32 dBm for up conversion is provided for 2.5G & 3G GSM/ CDMA based cellular applications at an LO drive of +17 dBm. With a 1 dB compression of +23 dBm, the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss is 8.5 dB typical and LO isolations are maintained at 23 to 35 dB.This miniature single-ended monolithic GaAs FET mixer requires only one external inductor to optimize the LO frequency response. The 50 to 250 MHz IF frequency response will satisfy many cellular transmit or receive frequency plans. The HMC399MS8(E) input IP3 performance coupled with its high P1dB rivals traditional active FET mixers while offering a much smaller 14.8mm² standard IC footprint and no DC bias.ApplicationsGSM, GPRS & EDGECDMA & W-CDMACable Modem Termination Systems
