General Description
The HMC296MS8 is a low LO drive, high IP3 double-balanced FET mixer in an 8 lead plastic surface mount MSOP package. This MMIC mixer is constructed of switched GaAs FETs and novel planar transformer baluns on the chip. The device can be used as an up or downconverter for 1.1 to 1.7 GHz applications. The consistent MMIC performance will improve system operation. The package dimensions are 0.118” x 0.192” (3.0mm x 4.9mm).
