A 13.5 to 17.0 GHz GaAs MMIC Doubler with Integrated Gain, Doubler and Driver Stages

摘要

Any product today that can both save money and save space is a much needed commodity in today's communication system designs. With systems getting ever more compact, board real estate is at a premium, hence the drive to integrate more functions in less space and keep the support structure simple and concise. Mimix Broadband, no stranger to these requirements, has introduced an active doubler in a RoHS-compliant 3 × 3 mm QFN surface-mount package that doubles the 13.5 to 17.0 GHz frequency band to 27.0 to 34.0 GHz and delivers +20 dBm saturated output power with 35 dBc suppression of the fundamental.
