Product Overview
HMC213AMS8ETR is a passive double-balanced RF mixer from ADI (Hittite), operating 1.5 GHz–4.5 GHz. Built with GaAs Schottky diodes and internal baluns, it delivers low conversion loss and high port isolation without external matching circuits. It runs at +13 dBm LO power, packaged in lead-free MSOP-8 tape & reel, ideal for wireless base stations and microwave radio.
Core Advantages
Wide Frequency Bandwidth
Covers 1.5–4.5 GHz RF/LO bands, supports multi-band communication equipment.
High Port Isolation
Built-in baluns provide up to 40 dB LO-RF isolation to avoid signal crosstalk.
Low Noise Passive Design
Pure passive GaAs structure with typical 8 dB conversion loss, no extra noise introduced.
No Peripheral Circuits Needed
All ports 50Ω internally matched, simplifies PCB layout and product development.
