MMD-18100HM_GaAs MMIC Millimeter Wave Doubler

Device Overview

General Description

MMD-18100H is a MMIC millimeter wave 2x multiplier fabricated with GaAs Schottky diodes. MMD-18100H operates over a 9 to 50 GHz input frequency range or a doubled output frequency range of 18 to 100 GHz. The MMD-18100H delivers low 12 dB 2F Conversion Loss and high suppression of the 1F and 3F harmonics. MMD-18100H is available as a connectorized coaxial module using 1.0 mm connectors on the output. Wire bondable die are also available.
