HMC412BMS8GE

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC412BMS8GE is a passive double-balanced mixer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 8 GHz to 16 GHz. The device requires local oscillator (LO) drive levels between 9 dBm and 15 dBm. It provides an RF-to-IF conversion loss of approximately 8 dB. The component is housed in an 8-pin MiniSOEP surface-mount package.

• Operates from 8 GHz to 16 GHz
• Requires LO drive levels between 9 dBm and 15 dBm

RF Mixers Applications

• VSAT systems
• Point-to-point microwave links
• Test and measurement equipment

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix MS8GE to ensure compatibility with the 8-pin MiniSOEP tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the required LO drive power falls within the specified 9 dBm to 15 dBm range for optimal performance. Ensure the application frequency aligns with the 8 GHz to 16 GHz operational window defined in the official datasheet.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a passive double-balanced mixer is required for frequencies up to 16 GHz. Consider the 8 dB conversion loss and the need for external LO drive power between 9 dBm and 15 dBm. The MiniSOEP package is suitable for surface-mount assembly processes requiring compact form factors.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC412B series of double-balanced mixers designed for high-frequency applications. The MS8GE designation indicates the specific surface-mount package type and tape-and-reel shipping configuration provided by Analog Devices Inc.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Consult official Analog Devices documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-reference pinout, frequency range, and LO drive requirements before substitution.
