Device Overview
General Description
The ADA-1030 can be used as a frequency extender to enhance the frequency range of a <15 GHz synthesizer up to 30 GHz. Useful for lab testing, test and measurement, and prototype systems. It consists of an input buffer amplifier, doubler, and output buffer amplifier to provide a +16 dBm output (suitable for driving most mixers) from a 0-6 dBm input. In addition to operation as a module, it is suitable as a reference design for prototyping using only commercially available surface mount products.

[1] The positive bias is from +3 to +7 Volts and the negative bias is from -0.25 to ground. The higher positive bias voltage, the better 2F output converted power will be, and the lower positive bias voltage, the better 1F, 3F harmonic suppression will be.
[2] The positive bias is from +3 to +7 Volts and the negative bias is from -0.25 to ground. The higher positive bias voltage, the better 2F output converted power will be, and the lower positive bias voltage, the better 1F, 3F harmonic suppression will be. Suppression and current consumption will vary with negative bias voltage. Optimal performance is at approximately -0.15 V.
[3] The higher input power the better 2F output power and the worse 1F/3F suppression will be.
