Device Overview

General Description

The MMD-3567LBH is a MMIC doubler fabricated with GaAs Schottky diodes. This part operates over a 17.5 GHz to 33.5 GHz input frequency range or a doubled output frequency range of 35 to 67 GHz. It features excellent 12 dB conversion loss, superior 49 dB 1F and 51 dB 3F isolations, and harmonic suppressions across a broad bandwidth. Available in a compact inline connectorized bullet housing. For wire-bondable die, see MMD-3580LCH.
