General Description
The HMC-C056 is a x2 active broadband frequency
multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in a
miniature hermetic module. When driven by a 6 dBm
signal, the multiplier provides +14 dBm typical output
power from 8 - 21 GHz. The Fo isolation is 16 dBc
@ 15 GHz with respect to output signal level. This
frequency multiplier features DC blocked I/O’s, and is
ideal for use in LO multiplier chains for Pt to Pt & VSAT
Radios yielding reduced parts count vs. traditional
approaches. The low additive SSB Phase Noise of
-142 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps maintain good
system noise performance.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, +Vdc = +12V, -Vdc = -5V, RF Input Power = 6 dBm
