Typical Applications
Features
The HMC370LP4(E) is ideal for:
Output Power: 0 dBm
• Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios
Sub-Harmonic Suppression: >22 dBc
• Fiber Optic
SSB Phase Noise: -140 dBc/Hz
• Military
Single Supply: +5V @ 55 mA
24 Lead 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm2
Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC370LP4(E) is an active miniature x4 frequency multiplier utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT
technology in a 4x4 mm leadless surface mount
package. Power output is 0 dBm typical from a
5V supply voltage and varies little vs. input power,
temperature and supply voltage. Suppression of
undesired fundamental and sub-harmonics is >22
dBc typical with respect to output signal level. The
low additive SSB phase noise of -140 dBc/Hz at
100 kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise performance. The HMC370LP4(E) are ideal
for use in LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts
count vs. traditional approaches.
