APPLICATIONS Point to point and point to multipoint radios Military radars, electronic warfare (EW), and electronic intelligence (ELINT) Satellite communications Sensors GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC6505A is a compact gallium arsenide (GaAs), the need for filtering of unwanted sideband. The HMC6505A pseudomorphic (pHEMT), monolithic microwave integrated is a smaller alternative to hybrid style single sideband (SSB) circuit (MMIC) upconverter in a RoHS compliant package that upconverter assemblies, and it eliminates the need for wire operates from 5.5 GHz to 8.6 GHz. This device provides a small bonding by allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing signal conversion gain of 15 dB with 22 dBc of sideband techniques. rejection. The HMC6505A uses a variable gain amplifier (VGA) The HMC6505A is available in 5 mm 5 mm, 32-terminal preceded by an in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) mixer that is leadless chip carrier (LCC) package and operates over a 40C driven by an active local oscillator (LO). The IF1 and IF2 mixer to +85C temperature range. An evaluation board for the inputs are provided, and an external 90 hybrid is needed to HMC6505A is also available upon request. select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces Rev. 0 Document Feedback Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.
