HMC316MS8 / HMC316MS8E

The HMC316MS8(E) is a miniature double balanced mixer in 8 lead plastic surface mount package. The passive GaAs schottky diode mixer implements planar on chip balun transformers, and requires no external components. The mixer can be used as an upconverter, downconverter, or modulator. At mid-band the mixer provides 7.5 dB conversion loss and +25 dBm IIP3 with LO drive levels of +19 dBm. The design of HMC316MS8(E) was optimized for low cost high volume applications where high converter linearity is required.
