MMD-3580LU-KW_GaAs MMIC Millimeter Wave Doubler

Device Overview

General Description

The MMD-3580L is a MMIC millimeter wave doubler fabricated with GaAs Schottky diodes. This operates over a guaranteed 17.5 to 40 GHz input frequency range or a doubled output frequency range of 35 to 80 GHz. The die version, MMD-3580LCH, is capable of operating beyond 80GHz. Both the wire bondable die and connectorized units are available. The MMD-3567L is a bandlimited version of this doubler.

Features

High fundamental rejection
Millimeter wave output frequencies
Low +7 dBm minimum input drive
