HMC-C032 v00.0806 GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER MODULE, 18 - 29 GHz OUTPUT Features High Output Power: +16 dBm Low Input Power Drive: 0 to +6 dBm Fo Isolation: >20 dBc @ Fout= 24 GHz 4 100 KHz SSB Phase Noise: -132 dBc/Hz Typical Applications Single Supply: +5V@ 82 mA FREQUENCY MULTIPLIERS The HMC-C032 is suitable for: • Clock Generation Applications: SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64 Hermetically Sealed Module Field Replaceable 2.92mm Connectors -55 to +85°C Operating Temperature • Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios • Test Instrumentation • Military & Space Functional Diagram General Description The HMC-C032 is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in a miniature hermetic module. When driven by a +3 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +16 dBm typical output power from 18 to 29 GHz. The Fo and 3Fo isolations are >20 dBc at 24 GHz. The HMC-C032 is ideal for use in LO multiplier chains for Pt to Pt & VSAT Radios yielding reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches. The low additive SSB Phase Noise of -132 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps maintain good system noise performance. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vdc = +5V, 3 dBm Drive Level Parameter Typ.
