General Description
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.
