HMC814

GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY

MULTIPLIER, 13 - 24.6 GHz OUTPUT

v00.1109

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Typical Applications

The HMc814 is ideal for:

• clock Generation Applications:

SOnET Oc-192 & SDH STM-64

• Point-to-Point & vSAT Radios

• Test Instrumentation

• Military & Space

• Sensors

The HMc814 is a x2 active broadband frequency

multiplier chip utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology.

When driven by a +4 dBm signal, the multiplier

provides +17 dBm typical output power from 13 to

24.6 GHz. The Fo, 3Fo and 4Fo isolations are >20

dBc at 19 GHz. The HMc814 is ideal for use in LO

multiplier chains for Pt-to-Pt & vSAT Radios yielding

reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches. The

low additive SSB Phase noise of -136 dBc/Hz at

100 kHz offset helps maintain good system noise

performance. All data is taken with the chip connected

via two 0.025mm (1 mil) wire bonds of minimal length

0.31 mm (12 mils).

High Output Power: +17 dBm

Low Input Power Drive: 0 to +6 dBm

Fo Isolation: >20 dBc @ Fout = 19 GHz

100 kHz SSB Phase noise: -136 dBc/Hz

Single Supply: +5v @ 88mA

Die Size: 1.2 x 1.23 x 0.1 mm
