General Description
The HMC204 is a passive miniature frequency doubler in a MMIC die. Suppression
of undesired fundamental and higher order
harmonics is 40 to 60 dB with respect to
input signal level and 24 to 42 dB with
respect to the output 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. Applications include commercial microwave radios and VSAT, as
well as military ECM and communication
systems.
