Overview
The HMC577LC4BTR-R5 is an active broadband frequency multiplier produced by Analog Devices Inc. This component utilizes GaAs PHEMT technology and is packaged in a 24-lead, 4x4mm QFN (Quad Flat No-Lead) package with an exposed pad, which is RoHS compliant. It is designed to operate as a x2 frequency multiplier, converting input frequencies in the range of 13.5 to 15.5 GHz to output frequencies between 27 and 31 GHz.
The device is particularly suited for applications requiring high output power and low phase noise. It is ideal for use in local oscillator (LO) multiplier chains, especially in point-to-point and VSAT radios, as well as in test instrumentation and military and space applications.
