Overview
The HMC338LC3BTR is a 24-34 GHz Sub-harmonically Pumped (x2) MMIC Mixer designed by Analog Devices Inc. This component features an integrated LO amplifier and is packaged in a leadless, RoHS compliant SMT package. The mixer is ideal for various high-frequency applications due to its excellent 2LO to RF isolation of 30 dB, eliminating the need for additional filtering. The LO amplifier operates with a single bias supply of +3V to +4V and requires a nominal -5 dBm drive input. The RF and LO ports are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms, while the IF port covers DC to 3 GHz.
