v4.21 Typical Applications Active Multiplier for X Band Applications: Fiber Optic Point-to-Point Radios Military Radar Functional Diagram Features Output Power: +4 dbm Sub-Harmonic Suppression: >2 dbc SSB Phase Noise: -142 dbc/hz Single Supply: V@ 2 ma 24 Lead 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm 2 General Description Electrical Specifications, T A = +2 C, Vcc= V The HMC443LP4 & HMC443LP4E are active miniature x4 frequency multipliers utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology in 4x4 mm leadless surface mount packages. Power output is +4 dbm typical from a V supply voltage and varies little vs. input power, temperature and supply voltage. Suppression of undesired fundamental and sub-harmonics is >2 dbc typical with respect to output signal level. The low additive SSB phase noise of -142 dbc/hz at 1 khz offset helps the user maintain good system noise performance. The HMC443LP4 & HMC443LP4E are ideal for use in LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches. Parameter Min. Typ. Max.
