Overview
The HMC924LC5TR is a GaAs MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) I/Q upconverter designed and manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This component is housed in a compact, leadless RoHS compliant SMT (Surface Mount Technology) package, specifically a 32-TFCQFN Exposed Pad. The device operates within the frequency range of 10 GHz to 16 GHz, making it highly suitable for various high-frequency applications, particularly in radar systems.
The HMC924LC5TR features an integrated RF amplifier and an I/Q mixer, with the LO (Local Oscillator) driven by a driver amplifier. It requires an external 90° hybrid to select the desired sideband, thereby reducing the need for additional filtering of unwanted sidebands. This upconverter is known for its high conversion gain, excellent sideband rejection, and high input IP3 (Third-Order Intercept Point), making it a robust solution for demanding RF applications.
