General Description
The HMC449 die is a x2 active broadband
frequency multiplier chip utilizing GaAs PHEMT
technology. When driven by a 0 dBm signal the
multiplier provides +10 dBm typical output power
from 28 to 32 GHz. The Fo and 3Fo isolations are
>34 dBc and >17 dBc respectively at 30 GHz.
The HMC449 is ideal for use in LO multiplier
chains yielding a reduced parts count vs.
traditional approaches. The low additive SSB
Phase Noise of -132 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset
helps maintain good system noise performance.
All data is with the chip in a 50 ohm test 鏗亁ture
connected via 0.076mm x 0.0127mm (3mil x 0.5mil)
ribbon bonds of minimal length 0.31mm (<12mils).
