HMC329 - Analog Devices

HMC329 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER

The HMC329 chip is a miniature passive double balanced mixer which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter from 25-40 GHz in a small chip area of 0.85 x 0.55 mm. Excellent isolations are provided by on-chip baluns, and the chip requires no external components and no DC bias. Measurements were made with the chip mounted and ribbon bonded into in a 50-o.
