HMC576LC3B

SMT GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY

MULTIPLIER, 18 - 29 GHz OUTPUT

v01.1208

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Typical Applications

The HMC576LC3B is suitable for:

• Clock Generation Applications:

SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64

• Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios

• Test Instrumentation

• Military & Space

The HMC576LC3B is a x2 active broadband frequ-

ency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in a

leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. When driven

by a +3 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +15 dBm

typical output power from 18 to 29 GHz. The Fo and

3Fo

isolations

are

>20

dBc

at

24

GHz.

The

HMC576LC3B 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. The

RoHS packaged HMC576LC3B eliminates the need

for wire bonding, and allows the use of surface mount

manufacturing techniques.

High Output Power: +15 dBm
