HMC-C035

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC-C035 is a double-balanced mixer module designed for radar applications operating in the 23–37 GHz frequency range. It exhibits a consistent noise figure of 9 dB across its entire operational bandwidth. The device functions as an upconverter or downconverter without requiring external components or matching circuits. It utilizes GaAs MMIC technology and is housed in a sealed module package equipped with SMA connectors.
