HMC140
General Description
The HMC140 chip is a miniature double-
balanced mixer which can be used as an
upconverter or downconverter. The chip is
especially suitable for Telecom and EW /
ECM applications because of its small size
and consistent IC performance. The chip
can be integrated directly into hybrid MICs
without DC bias or external baluns to pro-
vide an extremely compact mixer.
