General Description

The HMC129 chip is a miniature double-balanced mixer which can be used as an upconverter or down- converter in the 4 to 8 GHz band. The chip can be integrated directly into hybrid MICs without DC bias or external baluns to provide an extremely compact mixer. It is ideally suited for applications where small size, no DC bias, and consistent IC performance are required. This mixer can operate over a wide LO drive input of +9 to +15 dBm. It performs equally well as a Bi-Phase modulator or demodulator. See the HMC136 data sheet.
