GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The HMC129ALC4 is a general-purpose, double-balanced

monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer housed

in a leadless Pb-free, RoHS compliant LCC package, that can be

used as an upconverter or downconverter in the 4 GHz to 8 GHz

band. The HMC129ALC4 is ideally suited for applications where

small size, no dc bias, and consistent IC performance are required.

This mixer can operate over a wide LO drive input of 9 dBm to

18 dBm. It performs equally well as a biphase modulator or

demodulator. The HMC129ALC4 eliminates the need for wire

bonding, allowing use of surface-mount manufacturing

techniques.
