HMC449LC3B

v00.0905

SMT GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY

MULTIPLIER, 27 - 31 GHz OUTPUT

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Typical Applications

The HMC449LC3B is suitable for:

• Point-to-Point & Multi-Point Radios

• VSAT Radios

• Test Instrumentation

• Military & Space

The HMC449LC3B is a x2 active broadband frequ-

ency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in

a leadless RoHS SMT package. When driven by a

0 dBm signal the multiplier provides +9 dBm typical

output power from 27 to 31 GHz. The Fo and 3Fo

isolations are >25 dBc and >30 dBc respectively at

30 GHz. The HMC449LC3B is ideal for use in LO

multiplier chains yielding a 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. The HMC449LC3B

eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing the use

of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

Output Power: +9 dBm

Wide Input Power Range: -4 to +6 dBm

Fo Isolation: 30 dBc @ Fout= 28 GHz

100 kHz SSB Phase Noise: -132 dBc/Hz

Single Supply: 5V@ 50 mA
