      Hi,
    
 
    I have a perhaps very easy question. Is the Mixer HMC1063LP3E unidirectional so useable as Up- and also as Down- Converter ?
    
 
    Kind regards
    
 
    Sebastian

      HMC1063 can be used for both upconversion and downconversion. Please see page 6 of datasheet for upconversion performance.

        Then another question on this Topic on page 4 the Title is
        
 
        
  
        Data Taken as SSB Downconverter 
        
  

        
  

        and the graphic in row 1 column 1 shows the 
        
  
        
   
        
    
        Upconverter Performance, Conversion Gain, LSB vs. LO Drive 
        
    

        
    

        What dows this mean ? what is the difference to page 2 also title 
        
    

        
    
        Data Taken as SSB Downconverter
        
    
         graphic row 1 column 2 
        
    

        
    
         Conversion Gain, LSB vs. LO Drive
        
    
        ?
        
    
        How can the Upconverter Performance be measured in Downcoverter mode ?
        
    
        Isn't the Conversion gain  g = 10 * log (Pout/Pin)  ?
        
    
        I hope you get what I want to ask. 
        
    
        Kind regards

        The plots that specifically indicate upconversion in the title are indeed upconversion results. It would have been better if we had grouped the upconversion plots together rather than mixing with downconversion plots. I will put in a request to revise this in future revisions of the datasheet.
        
 
        Thx for catching this. I'll admit it is a little confusing.
