General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Output Power: +4 dBm

Sub-Harmonic Suppression: >25 dBc

SSB Phase Noise: -142 dBc/Hz

Single Supply: 5V@ 52 mA

24 Lead 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm2

Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, Vcc= 5V

Typical Applications

Active Multiplier for X Band Applications:

• Fiber Optic

• Point-to-Point Radios

• Military Radar

The HMC443LP4 & HMC443LP4E are active

miniature x4 frequency multipliers utilizing InGaP

GaAs HBT technology in 4x4 mm leadless surface

mount packages. Power output is +4 dBm typical

from a 5V supply voltage and varies little vs. input

power, temperature and supply voltage. Suppression

of undesired fundamental and sub-harmonics is >25

dBc typical with respect to output signal level. The

low additive SSB phase noise of -142 dBc/Hz at 100

kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise

performance. The HMC443LP4 & HMC443LP4E are

ideal for use in LO multiplier chains allowing reduced

parts count vs. traditional approaches.
