HMC370LP4

SMT GaAs HBT MMIC x4 ACTIVE

FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 14.4 - 16.4 GHz OUTPUT

v01.0604

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Typical Applications

Active Multiplier for Ku Band Applications:

• Pt to Pt & VSAT Radios

• Fiber Optic

• Military

The HMC370LP4 is an active miniature x4 frequency

multiplier utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology in a

4 mm x 4 mm leadless surface mount package.

Power output is 0 dBm typical from a 5.0V supply

voltage and varies little vs. input power, temperature

and supply voltage. Suppression of undesired

fundamental and sub-harmonics is >22 dBc typical

with respect to output signal level. The low additive

SSB phase noise of -140 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz

offset helps the user maintain good system noise

performance. The HMC370LP4 is ideal for use in

LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts count

vs. traditional approaches.

Output Power: 0 dBm

Sub-Harmonic Suppression: >22 dBc

SSB Phase Noise: -140 dBc/Hz

Single Supply: 5V@ 55 mA
