Functional Diagram
General Description
The Hmc710Lc5 is a compact GaAs mmic i/q
upconverter in a leadless roHs compliant smT
package. This device provides a small signal
conversion gain of 12 dB with -20 dBc of sideband
rejection. The Hmc710Lc5 utilizes a driver amplifier
preceded by an i/q mixer where the LO is driven
by an active x2 multiplier. iF1 and iF2 mixer inputs
are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed
to select the required sideband. The i/q mixer topo-
logy reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted
sideband. The Hmc710Lc5 is a much smaller
alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter
assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire
bonding by allowing the use of surface mount
manufacturing techniques.
