Device Overview

General Description

The MMD-3567L is a MMIC millimeter wave doubler fabricated with GaAs Schottky diodes. This operates over a guaranteed 17.5 to 33.5 GHz input frequency range or a doubled output frequency range of 35 to 67 GHz. This doubler is a bandlimited version of the MMD-3580L. The sister die version, MMD-3580LCH, is capable of operating beyond 80GHz. Both the wire bondable die and connectorized units are available. For new designs, the MMD-3567LBH in our inline bullet housing package is the preferred package and offers improved performance over the MMD-3567LU.
