Now available from RF and microwave component specialist Link Microtek are three new connectorised hermetic mixer modules that are ideal for military, space, wideband telecom, industrial, microwave radio and test equipment applications from 4 to 38GHz. Manufactured by Hittite Microwave Corporation, these GaAs MMIC-based modules all feature removable SMA connectors, which can be detached to allow direct connection of the module’s I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
The HMC-C009 is an I/Q mixer module that can be used as either an image reject mixer or a single sideband converter and provides a more reliable and consistent alternative to
hybrid-style assemblies. Operating over the frequency range 4.0 to 8.5GHz, the HMC-C009 features +23dBm input IP3, 35dB image rejection and a LO-to-RF isolation of 40dB.

The HMC-C014 and HMC-C015 double-balanced mixer modules operate over the ranges 16 to 32GHz and 24 to 38GHz respectively. Both mixers offer very wide IF bandwidth of DC to 8GHz and high LO-to-RF and LO-to-IF isolations of up to 40dB. These passive mixer modules require no DC bias and may also be used as bi-phase modulators/demodulators or as wideband phase comparators.
