Overview
The HMC814LC3BTR is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier produced by Analog Devices Inc. This component utilizes GaAs pHEMT technology and is housed in a leadless, RoHS compliant SMT package. It is designed to operate within the frequency range of 13 GHz to 24.6 GHz, making it ideal for various high-frequency applications. When driven by a +4 dBm signal, the multiplier provides a typical output power of +17 dBm. The device is particularly useful in local oscillator (LO) multiplier chains for point-to-point and VSAT radios, offering reduced parts count compared to traditional approaches.
