HMC916LP3ESMT MMIC x3 ACTIVE

FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 8 - 16 GHz OUTPUT

v00.0410

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Output power: 2 dBm

spurious suppression: >15 dBc

ssB phase Noise: -152 dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz Offset

single supply: +5V @ 83 mA

16 lead 3x3 mm sMt package: 9 mm²

Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vcc= 5V [1]

Typical Applicationsthe HMC916lp3e is ideal for:

• Microwave radio & VsAt

• Military radios, radar & eCM

• test instrumentation

the HMC916lp3e is an active x3 frequency mult- iplier in a 3x3 mm leadless qFN surface mount package. power output is 2 dBm typical from a single +5V supply and varies little vs. input power, temperature and supply voltage. suppression of undesired fundamental and spurious is 15 dBc typical with respect to output signal level. the low additive ssB phase noise of -152 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise performance. the HMC916lp3e is ideal for use in lO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts count versus traditional approaches.
