HMC204C8 v04.1105 FREQUENCY MULTIPLIERS - SMT 6 GaAs MMIC SMT PASSIVE FREQUENCY DOUBLER, 4 - 8 GHz INPUT Typical Applications Features The HMC204C8 is suitable for: Conversion Loss: 16 dB • Wireless Local Loop Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 40 dB • LMDS, VSAT, and Point-to-Point Radios Passive: No Bias Required • Test Equipment 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.
