GaAs MMIC HIGH IP3 SINGLE-

BALANCED SMT MIXER, 1.7 - 3 GHz

v01.0705

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

High Dynamic Range: +30 dBm IIP3

No External Components or Bias Required

LO/RF Isolation: 30 dB

Typical Applications

The HMC304MS8 & HMC304MS8E are passive

high IP3 mixers in 8 lead plastic surface mount Mini

Small Outline Packages (MSOP). This miniature

single balanced MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs

Schottky

diodes

and

novel

planar

transformer

baluns on the chip while not requiring any external

components. The RF port is balanced via the MMIC

balun while the LO port is connected directly to the

diodes. LO isolations are typically 20 to 30 dB.

Excellent input IP3 performance of +27 to +32 dBm

make the HMC304MS8(E) ideal for high dynamic

range applications.

The HMC304MS8 / HMC304MS8E is ideal for:

• PCS & 3G

• 2.4 GHz ISM

• MMDS
