Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC292LM3C is a 17 - 31 GHz surface
mount passive GaAs MMIC double-balanced
mixer in a SMT leadless chip carrier package.
The mixer can be used as a downconverter or
upconverter. Excellent isolations are provided by
on-chip baluns, which require no external com-
ponents and no DC bias. All data is with the non-
hermetic, epoxy sealed LM3C packaged device
mounted in a 50 Ohm test 鏗亁ture. Utilizing the
HMC292LM3C eliminates the need for wirebond-
ing, thereby providing a consistent connection
interface for the customer.
