HMC368LP4 / 368LP4E v03.0705 SMT GaAs PHEMT MMIC AMP-DOUBLER-AMP, 9.0 - 16.0 GHz OUTPUT FREQUENCY MULTIPLIERS - SMT 6 Typical Applications Features • Microwave Radios & VSAT Output Power: +15 dBm • Fiber Optic Infrastructure Wide Input Power Range: 0 to +10 dBm • Military Communications & Radar 100 kHz SSB Phase Noise: -140 dBc/Hz +5V @ 75 mA Supply 16 mm2 Leadless QFN SMT Package Functional Diagram General Description The HMC368LP4 & HMC368LP4E are miniature ampdoubler-amps utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in 4 mm x 4 mm leadless surface mount packages. When driven by a +2 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +15 dBm typical output power from 9 to 16 GHz. The Fo and the 3Fo isolations are 18 dB typical. The low additive SSB phase noise of -140 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise performance. The HMC368LP4 & HMC368LP4E are ideal for use in LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches.
