HMC445LP4 / 445LP4E v03.0907 SMT GaAs HBT MMIC x16 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 9.9 - 11.0 GHz OUTPUT 7 Typical Applications Features Active Multiplier for X Band Applications: Output Power: +7 dBm • Fiber Optic Sub-Harmonic Suppression: >25 dBc • Point-to-Point Radios SSB Phase Noise: -130 dBc/Hz • Military Radar Single Supply: 5V @ 78 mA FREQUENCY MULTIPLIERS - SMT 24 Lead 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC445LP4 & HMC445LP4E are active miniature x16 frequency multipliers utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology in 4x4 mm leadless surface mount packages. Power output is +7 dBm typical from a 5.0V supply voltage and varies little vs. input power, temperature and supply voltage. Suppression of undesired fundamental and sub-harmonics is >25 dBc typical with respect to output signal level. The low additive SSB phase noise of -130 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise performance. The HMC445LP4 & HMC445LP4E are ideal for use in LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vcc= 5.0V Parameter Min.
