HMC187AMS8 / 187AMS8E v00.0410 GaAs MMIC SMT PASSIVE FREQUENCY DOUBLER, 0.85 - 2.0 GHz INPUT Typical Applications Features The HMC187AMS8(E) is ideal for: Conversion Loss: 15 dB • Wireless Local Loop Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 40 dB • LMDS, VSAT, and Point-to-Point Radios Input Drive Level: 10 to 20 dBm • UNII & HiperLAN Freq. Multipliers - PASSIVE - SMT 5 • Test Equipment Functional Diagram General Description The HMC187AMS8(E) is a miniature frequency doubler MMIC in plastic 8-lead MSOP package. The suppression of undesired fundamental and higher order harmonics is 40 dB typical with respect to input signal levels. The doubler uses the same diode/balun technology used in Hittite MMIC mixers. The doubler is ideal for high volume applications where frequency doubling of a lower frequency is more economical than directly generating a higher frequency. The passive Schottky diode doubler technology contributes no measurable additive phase noise onto the multiplied signal. * Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, As a Function of Drive Level Input = +10 dBm Parameter Frequency Range, Input Frequency Range, Output Conversion Loss Min.
