HMC561

v04.0714

GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY

MULTIPLIER, 8 - 21 GHz OUTPUT

Features

Typical Applications

General Description

[1]

The HMC561 is suitable for:

• Clock Generation Applications:

SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64

• Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios

• Test Instrumentation

• Military & Space

The HMC561 is a x2 active broadband frequency

multiplier chip utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology.

When driven by a +5 dBm signal, the multiplier pro-

vides +17 dBm typical output power from 8 to 21 GHz

and the Fo and 3Fo isolations are 15 dBc at 16 GHz.

The HMC561 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 -139 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset

helps maintain good system noise performance.

High Output Power: +17 dBm

Low Input Power Drive: 0 to +6 dBm

Fo Isolation: 15 dBc @ Fout= 16 GHz

100 KHz SSB Phase Noise: -139 dBc/Hz

Die Size: 1.6 x 0.9 x 0.1 mm
