CHX1094

CHX1094 12-36GHz Frequency Multiplier GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC Description The CHX1094 is a cascadable frequency multiplier by 3 monolithic circuit. It is designed for a wide range of applications, from military to commercial communication systems. The backside of the chip is both RF and DC grounds. This helps simplify the assembly process. The circuit is manufactured with a P-HEMT process, 0.25µm gate length, via holes through the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate lithography. 15.0 10.0 5.0 P ( 3*Fin ) Main Features ■ Broadband performances : 12-13.5GHz ■ 10dBm output power for +14dBm input power ■ DC bias : Vd=3.Volt @Id=60mA ■ Chip size : 2.07 x 1.03 x 0.10 mm Output power (dBm) 0.0 -5.0 -10.0 -15.0 -20.0 -25.0 -30.0 P ( 2*Fin ) P ( Fin ) -35.0 -40.0 11 11.5 12 12.5 13 13.5 14 Input Frequency (GHz) typical measurement Main Characteristics Tamb. = 25°C Symbol Fin Fout Pin Pout Parameter Input frequency range Output frequency range Input power Output power @ Pin= 14dBm Min 12 36 Typ Max 13.5 40.5 Unit GHz GHz dBm dBm 14 10 ESD Protection : Electrostatic discharge sensitive device.
