10-40GHz Frequency Multiplier
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
The CHX2092a is a cascadable by 4 frequenc y
multiplier monolithic circuit.
It is designed for a wide range of applications,
from military to commercial communication
systems. The backside of the chip is both RF
and DC grounds. This helps simplify the
assembly process.
The circuit is manufactured with a PM-HEMT
process, 0.25µm gate length, via holes through
the substrate, air bridges and electron beam
gate lithography.
Main Features
■ Broadband performances : 9-10GHz
■ 11dBm output power for +12dBm input power
■ DC bias : Vd=3.5Volt@Id=80mA
■ Chip size : 2.31 x 0.97 x 0.10 mm
