General Description
The HMC1043LC3 is a general purpose triple balanced mixer that can be used as a frequency converter with 16 to 22 GHz at the iF port and 26 to 32 GHz at the rF port. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC1043LC3 provides excellent LO/rF, LO/iF and 2LO/iF isolation due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels from +9 dBm to +15dBm. The HMC1043LC3 eliminates the need for wire bonding and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
