GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC8342 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic
microware integrated circuit (MMIC), ×2 active broadband
frequency multiplier. When driven by a 5 dBm signal, the
multiplier provides 15 dBm typical output power. The output
frequency range is from 22 GHz to 42 GHz, and the input
fundamental and third harmonic isolations measured at the
output are −23 dBc and −20 dBc, respectively, at an output
frequency of 30 GHz. The HMC8342 is ideal for use in LO
multiplier chains for point to point and VSAT radios, resulting
in a reduced parts count vs. traditional design approaches.
