Description

The HMC6505A is a compact gallium arsenide (GaAs),pseudomorphic (pHEMT), monolithic microwave integratedcircuit (MMIC) upconverter in a RoHS compliant package thatoperates from 5.5 GHz to 8.6 GHz. This device provides a smallsignal conversion gain of 15 dB with 22 dBc of sidebandrejection. The HMC6505A uses a variable gain amplifier (VGA)preceded by an in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) mixer that isdriven by an active local oscillator (LO). The IF1 and IF2 mixerinputs are provided, and an external 90? hybrid is needed toselect the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reducesthe need for filtering of unwanted sideband. The HMC6505Ais a smaller alternative to hybrid style single sideband (SSB)upconverter assemblies, and it eliminates the need for wirebonding by allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturingtechniques.The HMC6505A is available in 5 mm ? 5 mm, 32-terminalleadless chip carrier (LCC) package and operates over a ?40?Cto +85?C temperature range. An evaluation board for theHMC6505A is also available upon request. Applications Point to point and point to multipoint radios Military radars, electronic warfare (EW), and electronic intelligence (ELINT) Satellite communications Sensors
