Overview
The HMC924LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter designed and manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This device is housed in a leadless, RoHS compliant SMT package, making it suitable for a variety of high-frequency applications. The HMC924LC5 features a small signal conversion gain of 15 dB and excellent sideband rejection of -30 dBc. It incorporates an RF amplifier preceded by an I/Q mixer, with the LO driven by a driver amplifier. The device requires an external 90° hybrid to select the desired sideband, reducing the need for additional filtering of the unwanted sideband.
