Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC387MS8 is a high dynamic range passive
MMIC mixer in a plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini
Small Outline Package (MSOP) covering 450 to
500 MHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +32
dBm for down conversion and +29 dBm for up
conversion is provided for both GSM/CDMA based
cellular and Private Land Mobile Radio applications
at an LO drive of +17dBm. The mixer also has
excellent performance with as little as +13 dBm
LO drive yielding a +30 dBm input IP3. With a 1 dB
compression of +22 dBm, the RF port will accept a
wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss
is 9.5 dB typical. The DC to 150 MHz IF frequency
response will satisfy many cellular transmit or
receive frequency plans. The HMC387MS8 input
IP3 performance coupled with its high P1dB rivals
traditional active FET mixers while offering a much
smaller 14.8mm

standard IC footprint and no DC
bias.
