HMC8191 is a passive wideband I/Q MMIC mixer that can be used either as an image reject mixer for receiver operations or as single sideband upconverter for transmitter operations. With RF and LO range of 6 GHz to 26.5 GHz, and IF bandwidth of dc to 5 GHz, HMC8191 is ideal for applications requiring wide frequency range, excellent RF performance and a simpler design with fewer parts and a smaller PCB footprint. A single HMC8191 can replace multiple narrowband mixers in a design.
The inherent I/Q architecture of HMC8191 allows it to offer excellent image rejection and thereby eliminate the need for expensive filtering for unwanted sidebands. The mixer also provides excellent LO-RF and LO-IF isolation and reduces the effect of LO leakage to ensure signal integrity.
Being a passive mixer, HMC8191 does not require any dc power sources. It offers lower noise figure compared to active mixer, ensuring superior dynamic range for high performance and precision applications.
HMC8191 is fabricated on a GaAs MESFET process and uses Analog Devices mixer cells and a 90° hybrid. It is available in a compact 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-lead LFCSP package and operates over a −40°C to +85°C temperature range. An evaluation board for this part is also available.
