The HMC266 chip is a broadband sub-harmonically pumped (x2) balanced MMIC passive mixer which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter in a small overall chip area of 1.9 mm2. The 2LO to RF isolation is excellent eliminating the need for additional filtering . This mixer chip is designed to be used in 23, 26 & 38GHz point to point radios, Local Multi-Point Distribution Systems (LMDS), and SATCOM applications. All data is with the chip in a 50 ohm test fixture connected via 0.076 mm (3 mil) ribbon bonds of minimal length <0.31 mm (<12 mils). This device is a much smaller and more reliable replacement to hybrid diode mixer designs.
