HMC787ALC3B

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC787ALC3B is a general-purpose double-balanced RF mixer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a radio frequency range of 3 GHz to 10 GHz and a local oscillator frequency range of 3 GHz to 10 GHz. The intermediate frequency spans from DC to 4 GHz. Typical conversion loss is 9 dB at frequencies between 3 GHz and 9 GHz. The device utilizes silicon technology and is housed in a 12-pin ceramic leadless chip carrier (LCC) package compliant with RoHS standards.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Double-balanced mixer architecture for improved port-to-port isolation
• Capable of functioning as both an up-converter and down-converter
• Silicon-based MMIC construction for reliable high-frequency performance

RF Mixers Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring frequency translation
• Test and measurement equipment operating in the 3-10 GHz range
• Point-to-point microwave links

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or certified partners. Confirm that the received unit matches the specific HMC787ALC3B designation, including the 12-pin LCC package configuration. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental regulations such as RoHS requirements before integration into final assemblies.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a general-purpose mixer is required for frequencies between 3 GHz and 10 GHz. Consider the 12-pin LCC package for surface-mount applications. Evaluate the typical 9 dB conversion loss against system noise budget requirements. Verify that the DC to 4 GHz IF range aligns with downstream signal processing capabilities.
