GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The HMC292ALC3B is a general-purpose, double balanced,

monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), mixer housed in

a leadless Pb-free, RoHS compliant LCC package, that can be

used as an upconverter or downconverter in the 14 GHz to 30

GHz frequency range. The HMC292ALC3B is ideally suited for

applications where small size, no dc bias, and consistent IC

performance are required. This mixer can operate over a wide

local oscillator (LO) drive level of 9 dBm to 15 dBm. It performs

equally well as a biphase modulator or demodulator. The

HMC292ALC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing

use of surface-mount manufacturing techniques.
