General Description
LE
The HMC187AMS8(E) is a miniature frequency doubler MMIC in plastic 8-lead MSOP package. The suppression of undesired fundamental and higher order
harmonics is 40 dB typical with respect to input signal
levels. The doubler uses the same diode/balun technology used in Hittite MMIC mixers. The doubler is
ideal for high volume applications where frequency
doubling of a lower frequency is more economical
than directly generating a higher frequency. The passive Schottky diode doubler technology contributes no
measurable additive phase noise onto the multiplied
signal.
