SiGe WIDEBAND

DOWNCONVERTER, 0.6 - 2.7 GHz

v03.0410

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The

HMC334LP4(E)

is

a

low

noise,

wideband

downconverter RFIC which is ideal for Cellular/3G

and WiMAX/4G applications from 0.6 to 2.7 GHz.

The LO input accepts drive levels from -6 to +6 dBm

while the RFIC provides 48 dB of LO to RF isolation,

and 0 dB conversion loss. The HMC334LP4(E) will

support an IF output bandwidth of up to 600 MHz

and consumes only 173 mA from a +5V supply.

This wideband active mixer also provides excellent

performance in the presence of high level “Blocker”

signals, making it ideal for receiver applications in

demanding environments.

Conversion Loss: 0 dB

LO to RF Isolation: 48 dB

Single-Ended LO Drive: -6 to +6 dBm

Input IP3: +26 dBm

SSB Noise Figure: 11 dB
