UMS CHX2093A

CHX2093a
RoHS COMPLIANT
10-30GHz Frequency Multiplier
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
The CHX2093a is a cascadable by 3
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 grounds. This
helps to simplify the assembly process.
The circuit is manufactured with a pHEMT
process, 0.25µm gate length, via holes
through the substrate, air bridges and
electron beam gate lithography.
