GaAs MMIC I/Q DOWNCONVERTER
20 - 28 GHz
Functional Diagram
Features
Typical Applications
General Description
The HMC977LP4E is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q
downconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant
SMT package. This device provides a small signal
conversion gain of 14 dB with a noise gure of 2.5
dB and 21 dBc of image rejection. The HMC977LP4E
utilizes a low noise amplier (LNA) followed by an
image reject mixer which is driven by an active 2x
multiplier. The image reject mixer eliminates the need
for a lter following the LNA and removes thermal
noise at the image frequency. I and Q mixer outputs
are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to
select the required sideband. The HMC977LP4E is a
much smaller alternative to hybrid style image reject
mixer downconverter assemblies, and is compatible
with surface mount manufacturing techniques.
The HMC977LP4E is ideal for:
• Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radios
• Military Radar, EW & ELINT
• Satellite Communications

Typical Application Circuit
Pin Number Function Description Interface Schematic
1, 2, 6, 7, 10 -
12, 15,18 - 22 N/C No Connection. The pins are not connected internally.
3VDRF Power supply for the RF low noise amplier.
4VDLO2 Power supply for the second stage LO amplier.
5VDLO1 Power supply for the rst stage LO amplier.
8LO Local Oscillator. This pin is ac-coupled and matched to
50 Ohms.
9, 13, 17, 24 GND Ground Connect. Connect these pins and the package
bottom to RF/dc ground.
16 IF2 Second and First Intermediate Frequency Port. These
pins are dc-coupled. For applications not requiring
operation to dc, block these pins externally using a series
capacitor with a value chosen to pass the necessary IF
frequency range. For operation to dc, these pins must
not source or sink more than 3 mA of current or device
non-functionality or device failure may result.
14 IF1
23 RF Radio Frequency Port. This pin is ac-coupled and
matched to 50 Ohms.

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and exposed paddle should be connected
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
Analog Devices upon request.
