HMC189AMS8 / 189AMS8E v02.1010 GaAs MMIC SMT PASSIVE FREQUENCY DOUBLER, 2 - 4 GHz INPUT Typical Applications Features The HMC189AMS8(E) is suitable for: Conversion Loss: 13 dB * Wireless Local Loop Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 33 dB * LMDS, VSAT, and Point-to-Point Radios Input Drive Level: +10 to +15 dBm * UNII & HiperLAN FREQ. MULTIPLIERS - PASSIVE - SMT 5 * Test Equipment Functional Diagram General Description 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.
