RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official Analog Devices documentation to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the GaAs-based construction meets environmental and thermal specifications for the intended application environment. Cross-reference the datasheet parameters for conversion loss and noise figure to validate performance expectations. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to the sensitivity of the semiconductor materials used in this RF mixer component.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select the HMC787LC3BTR when a double-balanced mixer is required for frequencies between 3 GHz and 10 GHz. Consider its GaAs technology and compact 12-CLCC package for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the 11 dB conversion loss and 10 dB noise figure against system link budget requirements. Verify that the 22 dBm OIP3 and 15 dBm P1dB levels are sufficient for the desired linearity and power handling needs in the target wireless application.

RF Mixers Part Context

This component belongs to the HMC787 series of RF mixers produced by Analog Devices Inc. The series includes variants such as the HMC787ALC3BTR-R5 and HMC787AG-SX, which share similar functional principles but may differ in specific electrical parameters or packaging options. The HMC787LC3BTR specifically utilizes GaAs technology and a 12-CLCC package, distinguishing it from other series members that might employ different substrates or form factors.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

The HMC787ALC3BTR-R5 is a related part within the same product family. Verify if alternative models from the HMC787 series meet the specific frequency and performance requirements before substitution.
