HMC577LC4B

v03.0514

SMT GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY

MULTIPLIER, 27 - 31 GHz OUTPUT

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Typical Applications

The HMC577LC4B is suitable for:

• Clock Generation Applications:

SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64

• Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios

• Test Instrumentation

• Military & Space

The HMC577LC4B is a x2 active broadband frequ-

ency 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.
