HMC156C8 v03.1105 FREQUENCY MULTIPLIERS - SMT 6 GaAs MMIC SMT PASSIVE FREQUENCY DOUBLER, 0.7 - 2.4 GHz INPUT Typical Applications Features The HMC156C8 is suitable for: Conversion Loss: 15 dB • Wireless Local Loop Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 38 dB • LMDS, VSAT, and Point-to-Point Radios Input Drive Level: 10 to 20 dBm • UNII & HiperLAN • Test Equipment Functional Diagram General Description The HMC156C8 is a miniature frequency doubler in a non-hermetic ceramic surface mount package. Suppression of undesired fundamental and higher order harmonics is 38 dB typical with respect to input signal levels. The doubler uses the same diode/balun technology used in Hittite MMIC mixers, features small size and requires no DC bias.
