HMC814LC3B v01.0510 SMT GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 13 - 24.6 GHz OUTPUT Typical Applications Features The HMC814LC3B is ideal for: High Output Power: +17 dBm * Clock Generation Applications: SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64 Low Input Power Drive: 0 to +6 dBm * Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios Freq. Multipliers - ACTIVE - SMT 5 Fo Isolation: >20 dBc @ Fout = 19 GHz 100 kHz SSB Phase Noise: -136 dBc/Hz * Test Instrumentation Single Supply: +5V @ 88 mA * Military & Space 12 Lead 3x3 mm SMT Package: 9 mm * Sensors Functional Diagram 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.
