Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC142C8 is a miniature double-balanced mixer
in a non-hermetic ceramic surface mount package
that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter.
The device is a passive diode/balun type mixer with
high dynamic range. The mixer can handle larger
signal levels than most active mixers due to the high
third order intercept. MMIC implementation provides
exceptional balance in the circuit resulting in high
LO/RF and LO/IF isolations and unit-to-unit consis-
tency. This mixer has applications where small size
and surface mount compatibility are important.
