The HMC577LC4B is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. When driven by a +5 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +20 dBm typical output power from 27 to 31 GHz. The Fo and 3Fo isolations are >55 dBc at 29 GHz. The HMC577LC4B 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 -128 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps maintain good system noise performance. The RoHS packaged HMC577LC4B eliminates the need for wire bonding, and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
