HMC6505LC5 Up-Down Converter and Mixer Evaluation Board

HMC6505LC5 GaAs MMIC I/Q Upconverter Evaluation Board

The HMC6505LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q Upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 15 dB with 22 dBc of sideband rejection. The HMC6505LC5 utilizes a RF amplifier preceded by an I/Q mixer where the LO is driven by a driver amplifier. IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted sideband. The HMC6505LC5 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques. Applications Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Military Radar, EW & ELINT Satellite Communications Sensors
