Description
AI
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
