The mixer quadrature (I/Q), monolithic microwave integrated circuit provides excellent LO to RF isolation of 43.5 dB typical, and LO (MMIC) mixer that can be used either as an image rejection to IF isolation of 42 dB typical. The mixer also reduces the mixer for receiver operations or as a single sideband upconverter effect of LO leakage to ensure signal integrity. for transmitter operations. With an RF and local oscillator (LO) As a passive mixer, the HMC8191CHIPS does not require any range of 6 GHz to 26.5 GHz, and an intermediate frequency dc power sources. The device offers a lower noise figure compared (IF) bandwidth of dc to 5 GHz, the HMC8191CHIPS is ideal to an active mixer, ensuring optimal dynamic range for high for applications requiring a wide frequency range, excellent RF performance and precision applications. performance, a simple design with fewer components, and a small The HMC8191CHIPS is fabricated on a gallium arsenide (GaAs), printed circuit board (PCB) footprint. A single HMC8191CHIPS metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process and can replace multiple narrow-band mixers in a design. uses Analog Devices, Inc., mixer cells and a 90 hybrid. The inherent I/Q architecture of the HMC8191CHIPS offers excellent image rejection of 29.5 dBc typical, eliminating the Rev. 0 Document Feedback Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.
