SMT GaAs PHEMT MMIC

AMP-DOUBLER-AMP, 9 - 16 GHz OUTPUT

v03.0705

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Output Power: +15 dBm

Wide Input Power Range: 0 to +10 dBm

100 kHz SSB Phase Noise: -140 dBc/Hz

+5V @ 75 mA Supply

Typical Applications

• Microwave Radios & VSAT

• Fiber Optic Infrastructure

• Military Communications & Radar

The HMC368LP4 & HMC368LP4E are miniature

amp-doubler-amps utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology

in 4 x 4 mm leadless surface mount packages. When

driven by a +2 dBm signal, the multiplier provides

+15 dBm typical output power from 9 to 16 GHz. The

Fo and the 3Fo isolations are 18 dB typical. The low

additive SSB phase noise of -140 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz

offset helps the user maintain good system noise

performance. The HMC368LP4(E) is ideal for use

in LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts count

vs. traditional approaches.
