HMC369LP3 / 369LP3E v04.0210 SMT GaAs HBT MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 9.9 - 12.7 GHz OUTPUT FREQ. MULTIPLIERS - ACTIVE - SMT 4 Typical Applications Features Active Multiplier for X Band Applications: Output Power: +4 dBm • OC-192 Clock Recovery Sub-Harmonic Suppression: 30 dBc • Microwave Radio & VSAT SSB Phase Noise: -142 dBc/Hz • Military Radios, Radar & ECM Single Supply: 5V@ 46 mA • Test Instrumentation 16 Lead 3x3mm SMT Package: 9mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC369LP3 & HMC369LP3E are active miniature x2 frequency multipliers utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology in 3x3 mm leadless QFN surface mount packages. Power output is +4 dBm typical from a single +5V supply and varies little vs. input power, temperature and supply voltage. Suppression of undesired fundamental and sub-harmonics is 30 dBc typical with respect to output signal level. The low additive SSB phase noise of -142 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise performance. The HMC369LP3(E) is ideal for use in LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts count versus traditional approaches. The HMC369LP3(E) are also useful for OC-192 clock recovery. The application of 10 GBPS data to the input generates a -7 dBm clock tone at the output with spurious signals suppressed by 25 dB. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vcc= 5V Parameter Min.
