HMC775LC5
v03.0514
GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER
W/ LO AMPLIFIER, 10 - 16 GHz
General Description
FeaturesTypical Applications
The HMC775LC5 is a compact I/Q MMIC mixer in a
leadless ceramic SMT package, which can be used
as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband
Upconverter. The mixer utilizes two standard Hittite
double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid
fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process. A low
frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce a
1 GHz USB IF output. This product is a much smaller
alternative to hybrid style Image Reject Mixers and
Single Sideband Upconverter assemblies. The
HMC775LC5 eliminates the need for wire bonding
and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing
techniques.

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the nal application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should have 50 Ohm impedance while the package
ground leads and exposed paddle should be con-
nected directly to the ground plane similar to that
shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be
used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.
The evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
