Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC561LP3(E) 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
+14 dBm typical output power from 8 to 21 GHz and
the Fo and 3Fo isolations are 15 dBc at 16 GHz. The
HMC561LP3(E) 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 -139 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset
helps maintain good system noise performance. The
RoHS packaged HMC561LP3(E) eliminates the need
for wire bonding, and allows the use of surface mount
manufacturing techniques. For availability on Non-
RoHS compliant HMC561LP3 product please contact
Hittite Microwave sales directly.
