CHX2092a RoHS COMPLIANT 10-40GHz Frequency Multiplier GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC Description The CHX2092a is a cascadable by 4 frequency multiplier monolithic circuit. It is designed for a wide range of applications, from military to commercial communication systems. The backside of the chip is both RF x2 x2 and DC grounded. This helps to simplify the assembly process. The circuit is manufactured with a pHEMT process, 0.25m gate length, via holes through the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate lithography.
