Frequently Asked Questions
What frequency range does the HMC213BMS8GE mixer cover and which RF bands does that include?
The HMC213BMS8GE operates from 1.5 GHz to 4.5 GHz, covering the full S-band (2–4 GHz) and portions of the L-band and C-band frequency allocations. This 3 GHz instantaneous bandwidth makes it suitable for satellite uplink/downlink, point-to-point radio, and wideband radar receiver front-ends without switching or tuning.
What is the conversion loss specification of the HMC213BMS8GE and how does it impact receiver noise figure?
The HMC213BMS8GE has a maximum conversion loss of 10 dB across its 1.5 GHz to 4.5 GHz operating band. In a cascaded receiver chain, this loss adds directly to the system noise figure, so designers typically place a low-noise amplifier with at least 15 dB gain before the mixer to maintain an overall noise figure below 3 dB.
Can the HMC213BMS8GE tolerate high input power levels in a radar or electronic warfare front-end?
Yes, the HMC213BMS8GE handles continuous-wave input power up to 13 dBm without damage. This 13 dBm CW power capability accommodates strong interfering signals in radar and electronic warfare environments, reducing the need for external attenuation pads in the signal path and simplifying the overall front-end design.
How does the 8-pin MSOP package of the HMC213BMS8GE affect RF layout design at frequencies above 3 GHz?
The 8-pin MSOP package has a small body footprint with 0.65 mm pin pitch, which minimizes parasitic inductance at RF frequencies above 3 GHz. Designers should use short, wide microstrip traces of characteristic impedance 50 ohm between the mixer RF and IF ports and the surrounding matching network to achieve minimum insertion loss at 4.5 GHz.
