HMC576

GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY

MULTIPLIER, 18 - 29 GHz OUTPUT

v00.0506

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Typical Applications

The HMC576 is suitable for:

• Clock Generation Applications:

SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64

• Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios

• Test Instrumentation

• Military EW / Radar

• Space

The HMC576 die is a x2 active broadband frequency

multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology. When

driven by a +3 dBm signal, the multiplier provides

+17 dBm typical output power from 18 to 29

GHz. The Fo and 3Fo isolations are >20 dBc and

>30 dBc respectively at 24 GHz. The HMC576 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

-132 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps maintain good

system noise performance.

High Output Power: +17 dBm

Low Input Power Drive: -2 to +6 dBm

Fo Isolation: >20 dBc @ Fout= 24 GHz

100 KHz SSB Phase Noise: -132 dBc/Hz

Single Supply: +5V@ 82 mA

Die Size: 1.18 x 1.23 x 0.1 mm
