HMC951BLP4ETR

Overview

The HMC951BLP4ETR is a GaAs MMIC I/Q downconverter from Analog Devices Inc., designed for radar applications. It operates within a radio frequency range of 5.6 GHz to 8.6 GHz, with an intermediate frequency span of 0 Hz to 3.5 GHz and a local oscillator frequency range of 4.5 GHz to 12.1 GHz. Key electrical specifications include a gain of 13 dB, a noise figure of 2 dB, and an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 1 dBm. The device exhibits a 1 dB compression point (P1dB) of -5 dBm and dissipates 1.184 W of power. It functions on a supply voltage of 3.5 V with a current draw of 160 mA. The component is housed in a 24-QFN (4x4) surface-mount package.
