Key Features
- Double-balanced mixer architecture from 5 GHz to 12 GHz provides high LO-to-RF and LO-to-IF isolation for clean microwave signal conversion
- Surface-mount MSOP-8 package enables compact PCB integration in radar front-ends, satellite receivers, and point-to-point microwave links
- Broadband frequency coverage from 5 GHz to 12 GHz supports multiple wireless communication bands including X-band and Ku-band edge frequencies in a single device
Applications
The HMC220AMS8E-AN is used in microwave communication systems such as point-to-point radio links, satellite ground terminals, and X-band radar receivers that require frequency conversion between 5 GHz and 12 GHz. Its double-balanced topology suppresses LO leakage and even-order distortion, making it suitable for low-noise receive chains and transmit upconverters in test and measurement instrumentation. The MSOP-8 surface-mount package simplifies integration into compact RF front-end modules alongside LNAs and VCOs on a multilayer PCB.

Frequently Asked Questions
What frequency range does the HMC220AMS8E-AN cover, and which wireless bands does that span?
The HMC220AMS8E-AN operates from 5 GHz to 12 GHz, covering the full C-band (4–8 GHz), X-band (8–12 GHz), and the lower edge of Ku-band. This range makes it directly applicable to satellite communications, 10 GHz point-to-point microwave links, X-band weather radar systems, and broadband test receivers without requiring band-specific mixers.
How does the double-balanced topology of the HMC220AMS8E-AN improve mixer spurious performance versus a single-balanced design?
A double-balanced mixer like the HMC220AMS8E-AN suppresses both LO and RF even-order intermodulation products as well as LO-to-IF and LO-to-RF feed-through by exploiting cancellation across 4 diodes. This results in higher isolation between ports and better spurious suppression than single-balanced designs, reducing the number of downstream filters needed in receive chains operating at 5 GHz to 12 GHz.
Which package does the HMC220AMS8E-AN use, and how does it integrate into a microwave PCB layout?
The HMC220AMS8E-AN is housed in an MSOP-8 surface-mount package measuring approximately 3 mm × 3 mm. At microwave frequencies from 5 GHz to 12 GHz, the short lead lengths of the MSOP package reduce parasitic inductance, and co-planar waveguide or grounded CPW transmission lines can be routed directly to the RF, LO, and IF pins on a low-loss RF laminate such as Rogers 4003C.
For a compact X-band receiver front-end, what LO drive level is typically required for the HMC220AMS8E-AN?
Double-balanced Schottky mixers in the HMC220AMS8E-AN family typically require an LO drive level in the range of +7 dBm to +13 dBm for optimal conversion loss and isolation at X-band frequencies around 10 GHz. Providing the LO within this power range ensures the diodes are properly switched, minimising conversion loss and maintaining port-to-port isolation above 20 dB in the 5 GHz to 12 GHz operating band.
