= +25°C, Vdd = +5V, 5 dBm Drive Level
Typical Applications
The HMC573LC3B is suitable for:
• Clock Generation Applications:
SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64
• Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios
• Test Instrumentation
• Military & Space
General Description
The HMC573LC3B is a x2 active broadband frequ-
ency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in a
leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. When driven
by a +5 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +12 dBm
typical output power from 8 to 22 GHz. The Fo and
3Fo isolations are >20 dBc and >25 dBc respectively
at 16 GHz. The HMC573LC3B 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 -134 dBc/Hz at
100 kHz offset helps maintain good system noise
performance. The RoHS packaged HMC573LC3B
eliminates the need for wire bonding, and allows the
use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
