Overview
The HMC1056LP4BE is a compact I/Q MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) mixer designed by Analog Devices Inc. This component is housed in a leadless, Pb-free SMT (Surface Mount Technology) package. It can be utilized as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The mixer incorporates two standard double-balanced mixer cells and a 90-degree hybrid fabricated in a GaAs Schottky diode process, making it a smaller and more efficient alternative to traditional hybrid style mixers and upconverter assemblies.
