Applications
The HMC189AMS8E is used in C-band satellite communication ground terminals, radar front-end receivers, and microwave point-to-point link transceivers that require a compact double-balanced mixer with operation from 4 GHz to 8 GHz. Its high linearity and low conversion loss make it effective in EW systems and test instrumentation where RF signal down-conversion or up-conversion must be performed with minimal noise and distortion across this frequency range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Over what frequency range does the HMC189AMS8E operate, and what LO power level does it require?
The HMC189AMS8E GaAs MMIC double-balanced mixer operates across an RF frequency range of 4 GHz to 8 GHz, covering the full C-band. It requires a local oscillator drive level of +7 to +13 dBm for proper mixing operation, making it compatible with standard RF synthesizer outputs used in satellite communication, radar systems, and C-band microwave test and measurement equipment.
How does the HMC189AMS8E's IP3 of +20 dBm benefit a C-band radar receiver front-end?
With an input IP3 of approximately +20 dBm, the HMC189AMS8E handles large interfering signals in the 4 GHz to 8 GHz range without generating significant intermodulation distortion products that would mask weak targets. This high linearity is critical in C-band radar front-ends operating in congested RF environments, where third-order intermodulation products from strong clutter must remain at least 50 dB below the desired weak-target return.
When is the HMC189AMS8E in an MSOP-8 package preferred over a larger module-based C-band mixer?
The HMC189AMS8E in an MSOP-8 package is preferred when board space is limited and the design can provide the RF, LO, and IF port matching networks externally, such as in compact radar modules, software-defined radio front-ends, or multi-channel C-band receivers where the 4 GHz to 8 GHz mixer must fit into a dense multi-layer PCB. Larger module-based mixers include integrated filters and buffers but occupy 5 to 10 times more board area, making the MSOP-8 GaAs die the practical choice for space-critical designs.
