RF mixers are specialized components used in all types of radio communication and are the most commonly used type of active electronic device. HMC272AMS8TR belongs to this kind of component and has its own wide applications and working principles. In this article, the application field and working principle of HMC272AMS8TR will be discussed.

Application field of HMC272AMS8TR

The HMC272AMS8TR is a highly integrated GaAs quad mixer MMIC with passive mixer conversion loss of 14dB and image rejection of 24dB. It is ideally suited for challenging receiver applications targeting the 1.7GHz to 2.6GHz radio bands. It is also a popular choice for point-to-point, and point-to-multipoint applications. Specifically, it offers excellent NF and low LO drive at a great value.

HMC272AMS8TR is a mixer ideal for wireless infrastructure applications including point to point, point to multipoint, remote radio head, and others that require high intermodulation performance. This particular model from HMC is chosen for many infrastructure applications such as WLLs, telecom, land-mobile radios, base station transmitters & receivers, commercial communications applications for enhanced antenna gain.

Due to the mixer’s superb performance and unmatched reliability, it is the ideal choice for passive and active device applications where tight spacing, minimal weight, and tremendous port-to-port isolation with minimal temperature drifts are required. It is an ideal choice for space limited applications such as satellite dishes, antennas, radio receivers, and high frequency amplifiers. In addition, it can also be used as an analog pre-amplifier for enhanced signal processing.

Working Principle of HMC272AMS8TR

The basic concept of an RF mixer is to take a signal from one frequency or one radio wave and convert it to another frequency or wave through a process called frequency mixing. HMC272AMS8TR achieves this through its GaAs quad mixer MMIC. A MMIC is a device that amplifies and mixes radio signals to convert them between the frequency bands.

HMC272AMS8TR consists of four mixers that can be used simultaneously or separately, and a four-stage gain block amplifier whose output is used as the LO port of the mixer. When a signal is applied to the RF port, it is converted to IF frequencies by the two mixers connected in series, and then converted to a higher frequency through the third mixer, and then converted back to a lower frequency or to quadrature through the fourth mixer. The gain block amplifier compensates the insertion loss of all the mixers and provides high gain for the signal.

In addition, the HMC272AMS8TR is designed to have a low LO drive requirement which allows the device to operate at a low power level and make it easier to integrate into the existing system. It also provides excellent intermodulation performance for improved system reliability and noise figures.

The HMC272AMS8TR is a highly integrated GaAs MMIC quad mixer specifically designed for challenging receiver applications. Its superb performance, wide application field, and low power requirement make it a popular choice for many rigorous and demanding RF applications.
