Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC204C8 is a passive miniature frequency
doubler in a non-hermetic surface mount package.
Suppression of undesired fundamental and higher
order harmonics is 40 dB typical with respect to input
signal level. The doubler utilizes the same GaAs
Schottky diode/balun technology found in Hittite
MMIC mixers. It features small size, no DC bias, and
no measurable additive phase noise onto the multiplied signal.

The circuit board used in the final application should
be generated with proper RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed
paddle should be connected directly to the ground
plane similar to that shown. The evaluation circuit
board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
