Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC141C8 is a miniature passive double-
balanced mixer in a non-hermetic ceramic sur-
face 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 result-
ing 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.
