HMC204MS8G / 204MS8GE

v05.0607
GaAs MMIC SMT PASSIVE FREQUENCY
DOUBLER, 4 - 8 GHz INPUT

Typical Applications Features

7 The HMC204MS8G / HMC204MS8GE is suitable for:

• Wireless Local Loop
Conversion Loss: 17 dB
Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 42 dB
• LMDS, VSAT, and Point-to-Point Radios Passive: No Bias Required
FREQ. MULTIPLIERS - PASSIVE - SMT

• UNII & HiperLAN Ultra Small Package: MSOP8

• Test Equipment

Functional Diagram General Description

The HMC204MS8G & HMC204MS8GE are passive
miniature frequency doublers in 8 lead MSOP surface
mount packages. Suppression of undesired funda-
mental and higher order harmonics is 42 dB typical
with respect to input signal level. The doubler utilizes
the same GaAs Schottky diode/balun technology
found in Hittite MMIC mixers. It requires no DC bias
and adds no measurable phase noise onto the multi-
plied signal.
