MMD-0426LBH_GaAs MMIC Doubler 4 to 26 GHz Output Frequency

Device Overview

General Description

The MMD-0426L is a MMIC doubler fabricated with GaAs Schottky diodes. This part operates from a 2 to 13 GHz input frequency range or a doubled output frequency range of 4 to 26 GHz. It features excellent 12 dB typical conversion loss, high 50 dB 1F and 62 dB 3F isolations, and great harmonic suppressions across a broad bandwidth. It is available as a SMA connectorized inline bullet housing package and as a 2.29 x 3.86 mm DFN package.

Features

Recommended Operating Conditions

The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate the limits, inside which the device should be operated, to guarantee the performance given in Electrical Specifications Operating outside these limits may not necessarily cause damage to the device, but the performance may degrade outside the limits of the electrical specifications. For limits, above which damage may occur, see Absolute Maximum Ratings.
