Overview
The HMC787ALC3BTR is a general-purpose, double-balanced mixer designed and manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This component is fabricated in a gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process and is housed in a 12-terminal, RoHS compliant, ceramic leadless chip carrier (LCC) package. It operates as both an upconverter and a downconverter within the frequency range of 3 GHz to 10 GHz. The mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry, making it highly integrated and convenient for use in various applications.
