HMC1065LP4E

Overview

The HMC1065LP4E is a compact GaAs MMIC image reject low noise converter designed for satellite communications. It operates with an RF frequency range of 27 GHz to 34 GHz, an LO frequency of 11.5 GHz to 19 GHz, and an IF frequency from 0 Hz to 4 GHz. The device provides a small signal conversion gain of 13 dB, achieves 17 dBc of image rejection, and offers 2 dBm input IP3. It utilizes an integrated RF LNA followed by a mixer architecture within a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an RF Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) directly with the mixer stage to enhance system performance.
• Provides inherent image rejection capabilities, eliminating the need for external image-reject filters.
• Delivers high linearity performance through specified input third-order intercept point metrics.

Applications

• Satellite communications systems
• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Electronic warfare applications

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free soldering specifications against current datasheet revisions. Ensure supply chain integrity by checking for recent production change notifications or end-of-life announcements prior to finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when design requirements demand integrated image rejection to reduce board space and filter complexity. Consider the specific LO frequency range of 11.5 GHz to 19 GHz for local oscillator compatibility. Evaluate the 27-34 GHz RF band suitability against system bandwidth needs and verify that the 13 dB conversion gain aligns with link budget calculations.

Part Context
