Typical Applications
The HMC189AMS8(E) is suitable for:
• Wireless Local Loop
• LMDS, VSAT, and Point-to-Point Radios
• UNII & HiperLAN
• Test Equipment
The HMC189AMS8(E) is a miniature passive
frequency doublers in plastic 8-lead MSOP packages.
The suppression of undesired fundamental and
higher order harmonics is 33 dB typical with respect
to input signal levels. The doubler uses the same
diode/balun technology used in Hittite MMIC mixers.
The doubler is ideal for high volume applications
where frequency doubling of a lower frequency
is more economical than directly generating a higher
frequency. The passive Schottky diode doubler
technology contributes no measurable additive phase
noise onto the multiplied signal.

The circuit board used in the application should be
generated with proper RF circuit design techniques.
Signal lines at the RF port should have 50 ohm
impedance and the package ground leads should
be connected directly to the ground plane similar
to that shown above. The evaluation circuit board
shown above is available from Hittite Microwave
Corporation upon request.
