Overview
The HMC787LC3BTR is a general-purpose, double-balanced mixer produced by Analog Devices Inc. This component is designed in a leadless, RoHS-compliant surface mount technology (SMT) package and can be used as either an upconverter or downconverter within the frequency range of 3 GHz to 10 GHz. Fabricated using a gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process, the HMC787LC3BTR requires no external matching circuitry, making it highly efficient and straightforward to integrate into various systems.
