HMC7587 Series

The HMC7587 is an integrated, E-band gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) downconverter chip that operates from 81 GHz to 86 GHz. The HMC7587 provides a small signal con-version gain of 10 dB with 30 dBc of sideband rejection across the frequency band. The device uses a low noise amplifier followed by an image rejection mixer that is driven by a 6× multiplier.The image rejection mixer eliminates the need for a filter following the low noise amplifier. Differential I and Q mixer outputs are provided for direct conversion applications. Alternatively, the outputs can be combined using an external 90° hybrid and two external 180° hybrids to allow for single-sideband applications. All data includes the effect of a 3 mm wide ribbon wedge bond on the RF port, and a 1 mm gold wire wedge bond on the intermediate frequency (IF) ports.ApplicationsE-band communication systemsHigh capacity wireless backhaulsTest and measurement
