Overview
The HMC187AMS8ETR is a miniature frequency doubler Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This component is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (Micro Small Outline Package) and is designed to operate as a passive frequency doubler. It is particularly useful for applications requiring the suppression of undesired fundamental and higher order harmonics. The HMC187AMS8ETR is suitable for various RF and microwave applications due to its compact size and high performance characteristics.
