Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC141C8 is a miniature passive 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 of 20 dBm. MMIC
implementation provides exceptional balance in the
circuit resulting in high LO/RF and LO/IF isolations and
unit-to-unit consistency. This mixer has applications
where small size and surface mount compatibility are
important.
