HMC525ALC4

Hi,

You could use the HMC8193 for phase measurement driving 50 ohms. Here are some lab results for your conditions based on other questions in this forum.

Thanks

Thank you mthahira.

can you just elaborate more on minimum and maximum RF and LO input power range?

can you just explain the setup you used for this measurement? Have you used any phase shifter for bench test?

we are working on same RF and LO frequency so our expected output is DC.So can we do down conversion? So can this model suits for our application? 

Kindly please suggest.

Hi,

The LO has to be 18dBm to drive the mixers.

The highest RF input should be less than IP1dB (13dBm).

The lowest RF input should be 6dB higher than LOinput (18dBm)-minimum LO to IF isolation (30dB)+ max conversion loss (10dB), so that the voltage can be read at the IF output. For the HMC8193 that would be 4dBm.

I used two RF signal generators that were phase and frequency synchronized and used the phase adjust capability of the rf signal generators to vary the phase between the LO and RF inputs.

The measurement was made on an oscilloscope with each IF output seeing a 50 ohm load.

Thanks,

Hi,

Additionally :The output at each IF port might limit your max rf input power. The absolute max ratings for the if port to source/sink current is 6mA. If driving a 50ohm load then the max voltage before causing damage would then be 300mV. If the conversion loss is the typical 9dB then the max rf input would be ~12dBm.

Thanks,
