HMC-C031 v01.1007 GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER MODULE, 6 - 10 GHz OUTPUT CONNECTORIZED MODULES - FREQUENCY MULTIPLIERS 12 Features High Output Power: +17 dBm Low Input Power Drive: -2 to +6 dBm Typical Applications 100 KHz SSB Phase Noise: -140 dBc/Hz The HMC-C031 is suitable for: Single Supply: +5V @ 90 mA • Wireless Local Loop Hermetically Sealed Module • Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios Field Replaceable SMA Connectors • Test Instrumentation -55° to +85°C Operating Temperature • Military & Space The HMC-C031 is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in a miniature hermetic module. When driven by a 3 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +17 dBm typical output power from 6 to 10 GHz. The Fo and 3Fo isolations are 12 dBc with respect to output signal level. This frequency multiplier features DC blocked I/O’s, and 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 -140 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps maintain good system noise performance. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vdc = +5V, 3 dBm Drive Level Parameter Min.
