Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC561LP3(E) is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology
in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. When
driven by a +5 dBm signal, the multiplier provides
+14 dBm typical output power from 8 to 21 GHz and
the Fo and 3Fo isolations are 15 dBc at 16 GHz. The
HMC561LP3(E) 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 -139 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset
helps maintain good system noise performance. The
RoHS packaged HMC561LP3(E) eliminates the need
for wire bonding, and allows the use of surface mount
manufacturing techniques. For availability on NonRoHS compliant HMC561LP3 product please contact
Hittite Microwave sales directly.

The circuit board used in the final application should
be generated with proper RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed
paddle should be connected directly to the ground
plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of
via holes should be used to connect the top and
bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board
shown is available from Hittite upon request.
