Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC207S8 & HMC207S8E are miniature double-
balanced mixers in 8 lead plastic surface mount Small
Outline IC (SOIC) packages. This passive MMIC mixer
is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and novel
planar transformer baluns on the chip. The device can
be used as an upconverter, downconverter, biphase
modulator (de)modulator, or phase comparator. The
consistent MMIC performance will improve system
operation and assure regulatory compliance. The high
LO suppression of 45 to 50 dB yields excellent carrier
suppression for modulator applications.

[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350
The circuit board used in the final application
should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal
lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the
package ground leads should be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown.
A sufficient number of VIA holes should be used
to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The
evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
