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).ApplicationsMicrowave and very small aperture terminal (VSAT) radiosTest equipmentPoint to point radiosMilitary electronic warfare (EW); electronic countermeasure (ECM); and command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I)
