HMC444LP4E

HMC444LP4 / 444LP4E SMT GaAs HBT MMIC x8 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 9.9 - 11.2 GHz OUTPUT v04.0210 Typical Applications Active Multiplier for X Band Applications: • Fiber Optic • Point-to-Point Radios • Military Radar Features Output Power: +6 dBm Sub-Harmonic Suppression: >25 dBc SSB Phase Noise: -136 dBc/Hz Single Supply: +5V@ 68 mA 24 Lead 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm2 5 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC444LP4 & HMC444LP4E are active miniature x8 frequency multipliers utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology in 4x4 mm leadless surface mount packages. Power output is +6 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 >25 dBc typical with respect to output signal level. The low additive SSB phase noise of -136 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise performance. The HMC444LP4 & HMC444LP4E are ideal for use in LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches. FREQ.
