Device Overview

General Description

The MMD-2060LBH is a MMIC doubler fabricated with GaAs Schottky diodes. This part operates over a 10 to 30 GHz input frequency range or a doubled output frequency range of 20 to 60 GHz. It features excellent 11 dB conversion loss, superior 48 dB 1F and 54 dB 3F isolations, and harmonic suppressions across a broad bandwidth. Available in a compact inline connectorized bullet housing. For wire-bondable die, see MMD-2060LCH.
