Product details
Overview
HMC1058 from Analog Devices is a GaAs MMIC sub-harmonic mixer designed for E-band RF front-ends, operating with 71–86 GHz RF, 29–43 GHz LO, and DC–12 GHz IF bandwidth. It delivers −11 dB typical conversion loss, 43 dB 2LO/RF isolation, and requires no DC bias. It supports both upconversion and downconversion in millimeter-wave radar and communications systems.
For engineers reviewing the HMC1058 datasheet, HMC1058 pinout, HMC1058 application, or HMC1058 equivalent, key selection criteria include RF/LO frequency alignment, passive operation without bias, wide IF bandwidth up to 12 GHz, and high 2LO/RF isolation critical for E-band spectral purity and spurious suppression.
Technical Context
The HMC1058 is a passive Schottky diode-based MMIC mixer fabricated on GaAs, using fully passivated diodes and Ti/Au metallization on all bond pads and the grounded die backside. Its sub-harmonic pumping architecture enables LO frequency halving (e.g., 35.5 GHz LO for 71 GHz RF), reducing LO generation complexity.
It operates in a 50 Ω environment under RF probe contact, with AC-coupled LO and IF ports matched to 50 Ω, and RF port impedance-matched to 50 Ω. Thermal resistance is 555 °C/W (junction to die bottom), supporting operation from −55 °C to +85 °C with 170 °C maximum junction temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar sub-harmonic mixer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC1113 | Wider RF range (60–90 GHz), higher conversion loss (−13 dB typ), same 3-pad die format and passive operation. | Broader frequency coverage but reduced sensitivity; suitable when extended band beyond 86 GHz is required. | Select HMC1113 only if system RF band exceeds 86 GHz; otherwise HMC1058 offers better conversion loss in its native 71–86 GHz window. |
| HMC1048 | Narrower RF range (71–76 GHz), lower LO drive (7 dBm), slightly improved 2LO/RF isolation (45 dB), identical die size and pad layout. | Optimized for lower portion of E-band; better suited for fixed-frequency 71–76 GHz radios with tighter LO power budgets. | Choose HMC1048 for 71–76 GHz-only designs needing minimal LO power; HMC1058 provides full 71–86 GHz support with balanced performance. |
Compared with HMC1113 and HMC1048, the HMC1058 delivers optimal trade-off of bandwidth (71–86 GHz), conversion loss (−11 dB), and LO drive (9 dBm) for general-purpose E-band infrastructure and radar, without sacrificing package compatibility or thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the HMC1058?
The HMC1058 is specified to operate from −55 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. Its maximum junction temperature is rated at 170 °C, and thermal resistance from junction to die bottom is 555 °C/W. Proper thermal management-such as eutectic die attach to a grounded molybdenum heat spreader-is essential to maintain reliability within this range during continuous RF operation.
Does the HMC1058 require DC bias voltage or current?
No, the HMC1058 does not require any DC bias. It is a passive GaAs Schottky diode-based mixer, eliminating the need for bias networks, decoupling capacitors, or regulated supplies. This simplifies PCB layout, improves reliability, and avoids potential LO injection paths through bias lines-key advantages in high-frequency, low-noise applications.
What LO power level is recommended for optimal performance of the HMC1058?
The HMC1058 is characterized and optimized for +9 dBm LO drive, delivering −11 dB typical conversion loss and best isolation performance. While it can operate down to +7 dBm (with ~1 dB higher conversion loss), exceeding +9 dBm offers diminishing returns and risks accelerated aging. Absolute maximum LO drive is +20 dBm, but sustained operation above +10 dBm is not recommended.
Can the HMC1058 be used for both upconversion and downconversion?
Yes, the HMC1058 supports bidirectional operation: as a downconverter (RF → IF) and upconverter (IF → RF). Its symmetric passive architecture and AC-coupled LO/IF ports enable flexible signal flow. Performance metrics-including conversion loss, IP3, and isolation-are documented separately for both modes in the official datasheet, with USB/LSB sideband configurations supported.
What are the handling requirements for the HMC1058 bare die?
The HMC1058 is an electrostatic-sensitive device requiring strict ESD precautions (< ±250 V). It must be stored in nitrogen after opening the ESD bag, handled only by edges with vacuum collet or bent tweezers, and never cleaned with liquids. Bonding requires 0.025 mm gold wire, 150 °C stage temperature, and <0.31 mm bond length. Die mounting must use AuSn eutectic or conductive epoxy with full backside grounding.
