Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC264LM3 is a 20 - 30 GHz surface mount
sub-harmonically pumped (x2) MMIC mixer with
an integrated LO amplifier in a SMT leadless chip
carrier package. The 2LO to RF isolation is an
excellent 25 to 35 dB, eliminating the need for
additional filtering. The LO amplifier is a single
bias (+3V to +4V) two stage design with only -4
dBm drive requirement. All data is with the non-
hermetic, epoxy sealed LM3 packaged device
mounted in a 50 ohm test fixture. Utilizing the
HMC264LM3 eliminates the need for wirebond-
ing, thereby providing a consistent connection
interface for the customer.
