HMC331

GaAs MMIC PASSIVE FREQUENCY

DOUBLER, 12 - 18 GHz INPUT

v02.1201

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Conversion Loss: 14 dB

Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 50 dB

Passive: No Bias Required

Typical Applications

The HMC331 is a passive miniature frequency dou-

bler MMIC. Suppression of undesired fundamental

and higher order harmonics is 50 dB typical with

respect to input signal level. The doubler utilizes

the same GaAs Schottky diode/balun technology

found in Hittite MMIC mixers. It features small size,

requires no DC bias, and adds no measurable addi-

tive phase noise onto the multiplied signal.

The HMC331 is suitable for:

• Wireless Local Loop

• LMDS, VSAT, and Pt to Pt Radios

• Test Equipment
