The HMC553ALC3B is a general purpose double balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 7 and 14 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process, and requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC553ALC3B provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF isolation due to optimized balun structures and operates with LO drive levels as low as +9 dBm. The RoHS compliant HMC553ALC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, and is compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing techniques.
