RF Misc ICs and Modules

The HMC187AMS8TR is a general purpose RF device developed by the semiconductor company, Analog Devices Inc. It is a low cost, high performance double balanced mixer featuring a low noise amplifier (LNA). This device is ideal for a variety of RF applications, including down conversion mixers, digital radio receivers, satellite systems, and electronic warfare receivers.

The HMC187AMS8TR has a number of features that make it suited for a variety of applications. The double balanced architecture makes the device ideal for both linear and non-linear mixing. The wide operating frequency range of 0.01 - 4 GHz makes it well-suited for use in a range of different applications and the device also has the ability to handle a high IIP3, with an IIP3 of 24 dBm. The device also has a low power consumption of 1.2 mW and a low noise figure of 5 dB.

The working principle of the HMC187AMS8TR is based on its low noise amplifier (LNA) which has the ability to amplify weak signals without introducing noise or distortion. The amplifier is used to amplify the incoming signal before it is passed to the mixer section. The mixer section is composed of a balanced mixer made up of two double diodes connected in a bridge configuration. The incoming signal is combined with a local oscillator signal and the two signals are mixed together to produce an output signal. The output contains the difference of the two frequencies, which is then amplified by the LNA before it is passed to the output.

The HMC187AMS8TR offers high performance and is well-suited for a variety of RF applications such as down conversion mixers, digital radio receivers, satellite systems, and electronic warfare receivers. The low noise figure, high operating frequency range, low power consumption, and excellent linearity makes the HMC187AMS8TR an attractive option for a wide range of applications.
