HMC579 v01.0608 GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 32 - 46 GHz OUTPUT Typical Applications Features The HMC579 is suitable for: High Output Power: +13 dBm 2 Clock Generation Applications: Low Input Power Drive: 0 to +6 dBm SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64 Fo Isolation: >25 dBc Fout= 38 GHz Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios 100 KHz SSB Phase Noise: -127 dBc/Hz Test Instrumentation Single Supply: +5V 70 mA Military EW / Radar Die Size: 1.18 mm x 1.23 mm x 0.1 mm Space Functional Diagram General Description The HMC579 die is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology. When driven by a +3 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +13 dBm typical output power from 32 to 46 GHz. The Fo isolation is >25 dBc at 38 GHz. The HMC579 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 -127 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps main- tain good system noise performance.
