Analog Devices EVAL01-HMC1041LC4

Evaluation Board for the HMC1041LC4 GaAs MMIC I/Q Mixer 17-27GHz

HMC1041LC4 Up-Down Converter and Mixer Evaluation Board

The HMC1041LC4 is a compact I/Q MMIC mixer in a leadless “Pb free” SMT package, which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The mixer utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated in a GaAs MES FET process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 1000 MHz USB IF output. This product is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style Image Reject Mixers and Single Sideband Upconverter assemblies. The HMC1041LC4 eliminates the need for wire bonding and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
