HMC-C056 v04.1110 GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER MODULE, 8 - 21 GHz OUTPUT Features High Output Power: +14 dBm Frequency Multipliers 4 Low Input Power Drive: 0 to +10 dBm Typical Applications 100 kHz SSB Phase Noise: -142 dBc/Hz The HMC-C056 is suitable for: * Clock Generation Applications: SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64 Fo Isolation 16 dBc @ Fout = 15 GHz Hermetically Sealed Module Field Replaceable 2.92mm Connectors * Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios -55 C to +85 C Operating Temperature * Test Instrumentation * Military EW/Radar * Space Functional Diagram General Description The HMC-C056 is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in a miniature hermetic module. When driven by a 6 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +14 dBm typical output power from 8 - 21 GHz. The Fo isolation is 16 dBc @ 15 GHz with respect to output signal level. This frequency multiplier features DC blocked I/O's, and 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 -142 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps maintain good system noise performance.
