The MMD-2060L is a MMIC millimeter wave doubler fabricated with GaAs Schottky diodes. This operates over a guaranteed 10 to 30 GHz input frequency range or a doubled output frequency range of 20 to 60 GHz. It features excellent conversion loss, superior isolations and harmonic suppressions across a broad bandwidth. Both the wire bondable die and connectorized units are available. For new designs, the MMD-2060LBH in our inline bullet housing package is the preferred package and offers improved performance over the MMD-2060LU.

The electrical specifications apply at TA=+25°C in a 50Ω system. Typical data shown is for the connectorized U package doubler used in the forward direction with a +3 dBm sine wave input. Min and Max limits apply only to our connectorized units and are guaranteed at TA=+25°C. RF testing of our die is performed on a sample basis to verify conformance to datasheet guaranteed specifications.
