Device Overview

General Description

The MMD-1648L is a balanced MMIC doubler covering 16 to 48 GHz on the output. It features superior isolations and harmonic suppressions across a broad bandwidth in a highly miniaturized form factor. Accurate, nonlinear simulation models are available for Microwave Office® through the Marki Microwave PDK. The MMD-1648L is available as a wire bondable chip or a connectorized package. The MMD-1648L is a superior alternative to Marki Microwave carrier and packaged doublers.
