Overview
The HMC260ALC3BTR is a general-purpose, double balanced, monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer produced by Analog Devices Inc. This device is housed in a leadless, Pb-free, RoHS compliant ceramic LCC package, making it suitable for high-volume, surface-mount manufacturing techniques. The mixer operates within the frequency range of 10 GHz to 26 GHz and can be used as either an upconverter or a downconverter. It does not require any external components or matching circuitry, simplifying the design process.
