HMC158C8
GaAs MMIC SMT PASSIVE FREQUENCY
DOUBLER, 1.3 - 4.0 GHz INPUT
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Conversion Loss: 15 dB
Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 40 dB
Input Drive Level: 10 to 20 dBm
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, As a Function of Drive Level
Typical Applications
The HMC158C8 is suitable for:
• Wireless Local Loop
• LMDS, VSAT, and Point-to-Point Radios
• UNII & HiperLAN
• Test Equipment
The HMC158C8 is a miniature frequency doubler
MMIC in a non-hermetic ceramic surface mount non-
hermetic package. Suppression of undesired funda-
mental and higher order harmonics is 40 dB typical
with respect to input signal level. The doubler uses
the same diode/balun technology used in Hittite MMIC
mixers, features small size and requires no DC bias.

Evaluation PCB
Item Description
J1, J2 PCB Mount SMA Connector
U1 HMC158C8, Doubler
PCB [2] 107165 Eval Board
[1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB
[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350
The circuit board used in the nal application should
be generated with proper RF circuit design tech-
niques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm imped-
ance while the package ground leads and exposed
paddle should be connected directly to the ground
plane similar to that shown. The evaluation circuit
board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
