RF mixers are essential components in microwave systems and are used to shift the frequency of signals by a predetermined amount, or to mix two signals together in order to produce a beat frequency. The HMC338-SX is a frequency upconverting mixer from Analog Devices, housed in an economical, surface mountable 8-pin mini-SOIC package. The HMC338-SX can be used for a variety of purposes, ranging from RF signal conversion and frequency upconverting to signal mixing and modulation. It also has a wide frequency range, so it can be used in most modern systems.

The HMC338-SX is an active frequency mixer that operates in the 0.7 to 5.9 GHz frequency range and has an IF output of DC to 2900 MHz. The device combines excellent dynamic range and conversion gain, with great isolation and low LO drive, all in a space saving package. It provides low noise, good linearity, and low power consumption, which is essential for microwave applications that require high performance. The mixer has a mixer noise figure of better than 17 dB at an IF frequency of 1564 MHz, and at a local oscillator frequency of 4 GHz, the mixer provides a conversion gain of 7.2 dB with an IIP3 of 0 dBm.

The HMC338-SX operates by utilizing a single balanced, inductively coupled transformer. The transformer is responsible for the conversion process, as it can both upconvert and downconvert signals. It is driven by an active application circuit that boosts the LO and RF level to a higher suitable level. This type of active upconversion helps to reduce the overall complexity of the process and also to improve the overall gain of the device. Once the signal is converted, it can be adjusted via the biasing network to produce the desired output.

The HMC338-SX is an ideal solution for a variety of microwave applications, such as modems, mixers, and frequency multipliers. It can also be used for wideband consumer applications such as satellite TV receivers, cellular base station equipment, and cordless phones. The device is very cost effective, as it is small, efficient, and has a wide frequency range. This makes it suitable for a range of applications that require low noise, excellent linearity, low power, and fast switching. In addition, as the device can be easily integrated into existing designs, it is ideal for integration into a wide range of production systems.

In summary, the HMC338-SX from Analog Devices is an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications that require high-performance and low-cost solutions. It can operate up to 5.9 GHz and provide excellent dynamic range and conversion gain, with excellent isolation, low noise, good linearity, and low power consumption. It is space saving and cost-effective, making it suitable for a wide range of microwave applications.
