Overview
The HMC520ALC4TR is a compact gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) in-phase quadrature (I/Q) mixer produced by Analog Devices Inc. This device is designed to operate as either an image reject mixer or a single sideband upconverter. It utilizes two standard double balanced mixer cells and a 90° hybrid fabricated in a GaAs metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process. The HMC520ALC4TR is packaged in a 24-terminal ceramic leadless chip carrier (LCC) and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for surface-mount manufacturing techniques without the need for wire bonding.
