HMC370LP4 / 370LP4E v03.0907 SMT GaAs HBT MMIC x4 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 14.4 - 16.4 GHz OUTPUT 7 Typical Applications Features Active Multiplier for Ku Band Applications: Output Power: 0 dBm • Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios Sub-Harmonic Suppression: >22 dBc • Fiber Optic SSB Phase Noise: -140 dBc/Hz • Military Single Supply: 5V@ 55 mA FREQUENCY MULTIPLIERS - SMT 24 Lead 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC370LP4 & HMC370LP4E are active miniature x4 frequency multipliers utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology in 4x4 mm leadless surface mount packages. Power output is 0 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 >22 dBc typical with respect to output signal level. The low additive SSB phase noise of -140 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise performance. The HMC370LP4 & HMC370LP4E 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.
