Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC189MS8 is a miniature passive frequency
doubler in a plastic 8-lead MSOP package. 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 final 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.
