The HMC1096LP3E is a x2 active broadband
frequency multiplier utilizing GaAs pHEMT
technology in a leadless RoHS compliant Low
Stress Injection Molded Plastic SMT package. When
driven by a 0 dBm signal, the multiplier provides
+12 dBm typical output power from 3.8 to 5.6 GHz.
The Fo and 3 Fo isolations are 22 dBc with respect
to the output signal level. This frequency multiplier
features DC blocked I/Os, and is ideal for use in
LO multiplier chains for Point-to-Point & VSAT
radios yielding reduced parts count vs. traditional
approaches. The HMC1096LP3E is compatible with
surface mount manufacturing techniques.
The HMC1096LP3E is suitable for:
• Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios
• Test Instrumentation
• Military & Space

The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and exposed paddle should be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown.
A sufficient number of via holes should be used to
connect the top and bottom ground planes. The
evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
