General Description
The HMC578LC3B is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier
utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT
package. When driven by a +3 dBm signal, the multiplier provides
+15 dBm typical output power from 24 to 33 GHz. The Fo and 3Fo
isolations are >20 dBc and >30 dBc respectively at 28 GHz.
The HMC578LC3B 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 -129 dBc/Hz at 100
kHz offset helps maintain good system noise performance. The RoHS
packaged HMC578LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, and
allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
