Product Overview
The HMC773ALC3BTR is a general-purpose double-balanced GaAs MMIC passive mixer from Analog Devices, supporting 6 GHz–26 GHz RF frequency for signal upconversion and downconversion.
Built with integrated on-chip baluns, it delivers consistent amplitude balance and phase matching, and requires no external DC bias to simplify PCB layout and BOM cost.
It operates with a typical +13 dBm LO drive (9–15 dBm range), housed in compact 3×3 mm leadless ceramic SMT package, ideal for defense communication, microwave backhaul and wideband test equipment.
Core Advantages
Ultra-Broadband Performance Matrix
Operates with flat conversion loss across an extreme 6 GHz to 26 GHz RF bandwidth, making it an excellent drop-in hardware choice for universal electronic intelligence (ELINT) systems and wide-frequency radio receivers.
Outstanding High LO Isolation Architecture
Achieves superior on-chip Local Oscillator to Radio Frequency (LO-to-RF) isolation exceeding 37 dB across mid-band intervals, keeping high-energy LO signal bleed out of sensitive antenna transmission lines.
Passive Structure with Zero DC Bias
Designed as a completely passive diode array topology requiring 0 V of external supply potential, significantly reducing dynamic board thermal dissipation and decoupling layout counts.
Hermetic Ceramic SMT Assembly
Packaged in a leadless, ultra-compact ceramic package format that minimizes parasitic inductances while providing stable signal matching performance even inside challenging, non-climate-controlled electronic enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is your current stock inventory of the HMC773ALC3BTR completely genuine and factory-original?
A: Yes, we guarantee that all HMC773ALC3BTR mixer components in our stock are 100% brand-new, factory-original products from Analog Devices Inc. They are kept and handled under strict anti-static ESD shielding and dry-pack moisture-control guidelines.
Q2: What is the mechanical delivery variation indicated by the “TR” suffix at the end of the part number?
A: “TR” means tape & reel packaging (500pcs per 7-inch reel), designed for automated SMT pick-and-place production.
Q3: Why is the wide IF range from DC to 8 GHz advantageous for wideband architectures?
A: The DC-coupled IF supports direct I/Q modulation, phase detection and wideband signal processing, removing extra intermediate filter circuits.
Q4: How can our engineering group download S-parameter files, package outline drawings, or request bulk quantity pricing tiers?
A: Fill out the Quick Inquiry form on this page, we will send full technical documents & tiered quotations within 24 hours.
