General Description

The HMC773LC3B is a general purpose double balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 6 and 26 GHz. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC773LC3B provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels above +13 dBm. The HMC773LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

Some basic specifications and features are as follows:

10 KHz step size.

Power Output up to +27 dBm

-113 dBc/Hz @ 100KHz Offset at 1 GHz.

300 microseconds switching.

Manual, Ethernet, GPIB (SCPI) or USB Control.

Hittite HMC-T2100

Applications

Hittite’s trend-setting price – performance ratio of the T2100 lends itself to applications where multiple Signal Sources or Local Oscillators are required. Tying up numerous traditional synthesizers in automated test sets that only require fast switching CW signals is an expensive proposition. Production lines requiring many test sets is another opportunity to save significant capital investment.

Two-Tone Third Order Intercept testing often required up to three signal sources. Three T2100′s satisfy this requirement for the price of one traditional microwave synthesizer. Users needing to test mixers require both an RF Source and an LO source – Another cost saving opportunity.
