General Description
the HMC814lC3B is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier utilizing GaAs pHeMt technology in a leadless roHs compliant sMt package. When driven by a +4 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +17 dBm typical output power from 13 to 24.6 GHz. the Fo, 3Fo and 4Fo isolations are >20 dBc at 19 GHz. the HMC814lC3B 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 -136 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps maintain good system noise performance. the roHs packaged HMC814lC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

the circuit board used in the 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.
