RF Mixers

A RF mixer is a three-port active device that converts a incoming RF signal from one frequency to another. Mixers are used in a wide variety of applications from communications to navigation systems.

One type of mixer is the HMC-C015. This type of mixer is designed for applications that operate within the 500 MHz to 8 GHz frequency range, such as wireless communications and radar systems. It is a double-balanced device constructed from a Gilbert cell topology by using a SiGe BiCMOS process. This process allows for a very high power and low distortion performance.

HMC-C015 Application Field and Working Principle

The HMC-C015 offers excellent linearity and low noise figure, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is ideal for use in wireless communication systems, such as GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Bluetooth. It is also suitable for WCDMA, CDMA, and PHS, as well as radar systems.

The device features a LO rating of +21 dBm with an input return loss of 18 dB, while the RF port features an input return loss of 10 dB. The mixer has a conversion gain of +12 dB and a 3 dB bandwidth of 15 MHz. The device is designed to operate from a DC supply of 5V.

The working principle of the HMC-C015 is based on a three-stage mixer circuit. The first two stages are differential active mixers, while the third stage consists of a passive balun, which serves to convert the balanced signal from the differential stages to the single-ended signal. The mixer is designed to provide an input sensitivity of –7 dBm, while the output power is below –3 dBm. A small amount of isolation is provided by the passive on-chip balun to reduce crosstalk between the input and output ports.

The output of the mixer can be connected to a power amplifier or other RF circuitry. This allows the user to further enhance the performance of the device and take advantage of its wide frequency range and high dynamic range. This can be very useful in wireless communication applications that require high power output.
