The HMC402MS8 is a high dynamic range passive MMIC mixer in a plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP) covering 1.8 to 2.2 GHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +31 dBm for down conversion and +27 dBm for up conversion is provided for 2.5G & 3G GSM/CDMA based UMTS or PCS applications at an LO drive of +17dBm. With a 1dB compression of +21 dBm, the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss is 8.5dB typical and LO isolations are maintained at 24 to 30 dB. This miniature single-ended monolithic GaAs FET mixer does not require any external components or bias. The broad 50 to 500 MHz IF frequency response will satisfy many UMTS/PCS transmit or receive frequency plans configured for high side LO. The HMC402MS8 input IP3 performance coupled with its high P1dB rivals traditional active FET mixers while offering a much smaller 14.8mm2 standard IC footprint, and no DC bias.
