HMC136

Product Overview

HMC136 from Analog Devices Inc. is a bi-phase modulator die. This product detail focuses on the RF modulation architecture, operating band, baseband interface, linearity and package considerations for engineering and sourcing teams.

The device is relevant for transmitter signal chains where complex I/Q modulation, vector modulation, phase modulation or modulator-driver functionality must match the original BOM and board-level RF design.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Analog Devices Inc.
• Part Number: HMC136
• Device Type: bi-phase modulator die
• Modulation Format: BPSK / 0°-180° phase modulation
• Frequency Range: higher microwave band bi-phase modulator family; exact frequency depends on HMC136 datasheet revision
• Baseband / I/Q Bandwidth: control-port bias determines phase state
• Linearity / Output Performance: GaAs MMIC biphase modulator family for microwave radio and VSAT links
• Carrier / Sideband / Balance Notes: monolithic balun/diode phase-switching structure
• Supply Voltage / Current: bias-current controlled GaAs die
• Package / Case: Manufacturer package code from ordering suffix; check mechanical drawing before PCB release
• Operating Temperature: die-level RF modulator temperature class
• Design Notes: Match LO drive, I/Q common-mode level, baseband filtering and package footprint to the exact ordering suffix before production use.

Applications

Wireless infrastructure, microwave radio, broadband access, satellite modem, instrumentation and complex-modulation transmitter designs.

Replacement builds, shortage support and BOM sourcing projects where RF range, baseband interface, package and supply requirements must remain compatible.

Quality & Sourcing

Antrex Electronics can support sourcing for HMC136 through available stock checks, BOM consolidation and alternative-lot review. For RF modulator ICs, packaging condition, date code, MSL handling and original labeling should be checked before shipment.

For project builds or shortage support, Antrex Electronics can coordinate visual inspection, package verification and third-party electrical or authenticity testing when required. This helps buyers manage risk when sourcing discontinued, allocated or hard-to-find RF modulator parts.
