CHX2092a RoHS COMPLIANT 10-40GHz Frequency Multiplier GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC Description The CHX2092a is a cascadable by 4 frequency multiplier monolithic circuit. It is designed for a wide range of applications, from military to commercial communication systems. The backside of the chip is both RF and DC grounded. This helps to simplify the assembly process. x2 The circuit is manufactured with a pHEMT process, 0.25µm gate length, via holes through the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate lithography. x2 Harmonic Output power vs Frequency 14 It is available in chip form 10 6 Pout_4xFin 2 ■ Broadband performances: 9-10GHz ■ 11dBm output power for +12dBm input power ■ DC bias: Vd=3.5Volt@Id=80mA ■ Chip size: 2.31 x 0.97 x 0.10mm Pout (dBm) Main Features -2 Pout_Fin -6 Pout_2xFin -10 -14 -18 -22 -26 -30 8 8,5 9 Input Frequency ( GHz ) 9,5 10 Main Characteristics Tamb. = 25°C Symbol Fin Parameter Min Typ Max Unit Input frequency range 9 10 GHz Fout Output frequency range 36 40 GHz Pin Input power Pout_4xFin 4xFin Output power @ +12dBm input power 9 12 dBm 11 dBm ESD Protection : Electrostatic discharge sensitive device.
