General Description
The HMC523LC4 is a compact general purpose I /Q MMIC mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant 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 MESFET process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a 100 MHz USB IF output. This product is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style Image Reject Mixers and Single Sideband Upconverter assemblies. The HMC523LC4 eliminates the need for wire bonding allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

Features
   Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 3.5 GHz
   Image Rejection: 25 dB
   LO to RF Isolation: 47 dB
   High Input IP3: +25 dBm
   RoHS Compliant 4x4 mm SMT Package

Typical Applications
The HMC523LC4 is ideal for:
• Point-to-Point Radios
• Point-to-Mulit-Point Radios & VSAT
• Test Equipment & Sensors
• Military End-Use
