GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The HMC329ALC3B is a general-purpose, double balanced

mixer in a leadless, RoHS compliant, surface-mount technology

(SMT) package that can be used as an upconverter or down-

converter between 24 GHz and 32 GHz. This mixer is fabricated

in a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated

circuit (MMIC) process and requires no external components

or matching circuitry. The HMC329ALC3B provides excellent local

oscillator (LO) to radio frequency (RF) and LO to intermediate

frequency (IF) suppression due to optimized balun preliminary

structures. The mixer operates with LO amplitude above 9 dBm.

The RoHS compliant HMC329ALC3B eliminates the need for

wire bonding, allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing

techniques.
