The HMC787LC3B is a general purpose double
balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT
package that can be used as an upconverter or
downconverter between 3 and 10 GHz. This mixer
is fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process, and
requires no external components or matching cir-
cuitry. The HMC787LC3B provides excellent LO to
RF and LO to IF isolation due to optimized balun
structures and operates with LO drive level of +17
dBm. The ceramic SMT package eliminates the need
for wire bonding, and is compatible with high volume
surface mount manufacturing techniques.
