Device Overview

General Description

The MMD-1030LBH is a MMIC doubler fabricated with GaAs Schottky diodes. This part operates over a 5 to 15 GHz input frequency range or a doubled output frequency range of 10 to 30 GHz. It features excellent 12 dB 2F conversion loss, superior isolations and harmonic suppressions across a broad bandwidth. Both the wire bondable die and connectorized units are available.
