HMC815BLC5TR

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC815BLC5TR is a GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter from Analog Devices Inc., designed for RF applications between 21 GHz and 27 GHz. It operates with an intermediate frequency range of 0 Hz to 3.75 GHz and requires a local oscillator frequency of 10.5 GHz to 14.5 GHz. The device provides 12 dB gain, with a P1dB compression point of 20 dBm and an OIP3 of 27 dBm. It functions on a 4.5 V supply drawing 270 mA current. Packaged in a CLCC-32 (5x5 mm) SMD format, it supports operation from -40°C to +85°C.
