HMC8193 is a passive in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer that can be used either as an image reject mixer for receiver operations or as single sideband upconverter for transmitter operations from 2.5 GHz to 8.5 GHz. The inherent I/Q architecture of the HMC8193 offers excellent image rejection and thereby eliminates the need for expensive filtering for unwanted sidebands. The mixer also provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF isolation and reduces the effect of LO leakage to ensure signal integrity.
The HMC8193 is fabricated on a GaAs MESFET process and uses Analog Devices, Inc., mixer cells and a 90-degree hybrid. It is available in a compact 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-lead LFCSP package and operates over a −40 C to +85 C temperature range.
