HMC369LP3

SMT GaAs HBT MMIC x2 ACTIVE

FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 9.9 - 12.7 GHz OUTPUT

v01.0604

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Output Power: +4 dBm

Sub-Harmonic Suppression: 30 dBc

SSB Phase Noise: -142 dBc/Hz

Single Supply: 5V@ 46 mA

Typical Applications

Active Multiplier for X Band Applications:

• OC-192 Clock Recovery

• Microwave Radio & VSAT

• Military Radios, Radar & ECM

• Test Instrumentation

The HMC369LP3 is an active miniature x2 frequency

multiplier utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology in a

3 mm x 3 mm leadless QFN surface mount package.

Power output is +4 dBm typical from a single +5.0V

supply and varies little vs. input power, temperature

and supply voltage. Suppression of undesired

fundamental and sub-harmonics is 30 dBc typical

with respect to output signal level. The low additive

SSB phase noise of -142 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz

offset helps the user maintain good system noise

performance. The HMC369LP3 is ideal for use in

LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts count

versus traditional approaches.

The HMC369LP3

is also useful for OC-192 clock recovery.

The

application of 10 GBPS data to the input generates

a -7 dBm clock tone at the output with spurious

signals suppressed by 25 dB.
