HMC787ALC3BTR

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC787ALC3BTR is a double-balanced RF mixer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 3 GHz to 10 GHz and utilizes a 12-pin LCC package with dimensions of 2.9x2.9 mm. The device features a typical conversion loss of 9 dB at frequencies between 3 GHz and 9 GHz, with a noise figure of 9 dB. It supports an intermediate frequency range from 0 Hz to 4 GHz. The component is designed for surface mount installation and complies with RoHS standards.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Double-balanced architecture provides high isolation and low spurious response
• Operates as upconverter or downconverter in the 3-10 GHz range
• Utilizes GaAs MMIC technology for reliable performance

RF Mixers Applications

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

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status through official Analog Devices channels or authorized distributors, as supply constraints may apply. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any recent product change notices affecting the component specifications or manufacturing location before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a double-balanced mixer is required for the 3-10 GHz band with low conversion loss. Consider the 12-pin LCC package size for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the 9 dB noise figure and conversion loss against system link budget requirements. Ensure the intermediate frequency range meets the design needs for signal processing stages.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC787 series of RF mixers from Analog Devices. It is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) built on GaAs technology. The series includes variants such as the HMC787AG-SX for sample packs and other packaging options like cut tape or reel configurations, all sharing similar core electrical characteristics.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the HMC787ALC3B variant, which shares identical electrical specifications but may differ in packaging format. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when transitioning between different package styles within the same functional family.
