General Description
The HMC144LH5 is a Double-Balanced MMIC Mixer
housed in a hermetic SMT leadless package which
can be used as an upconverter or downconverter
from 6 to 20 GHz. Broadband operation and excellent
isolations are provided by on-chip baluns, while no
external components or DC bias are required. The
HMC144LH5 is a more reliable alternative to hybrid
diode mixers, assuring consistent conversion loss
and isolation performance over multiple production
lots. The HMC144LH5 allows the use of surface
mount manufacturing techniques and is suitable
for high reliability, military, industrial and space
applications.
