HMC205

GaAs MMIC PASSIVE FREQUENCY

DOUBLER, 6 - 12 GHz INPUT

v03.0907

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Conversion Loss: 12 to 17 dB

Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 32 dB

Passive: No Bias Required

Typical Applications

The HMC205 is a passive miniature frequency doubler

in a MMIC die. Suppression of undesired fundamen-

tal and higher order harmonics is 32 dB typical with

respect to input signal level. The doubler utilizes the

same GaAs Schottky diode/balun technology found in

Hittite MMIC mixers. It features small size, no DC bias,

and no measurable additive phase noise onto the mul-

tiplied signal.

The HMC205 is suitable for:

• Wireless Local Loop

• LMDS, VSAT, and Point-to-Point Radios

• Test Equipment
