The HMC8342 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microware integrated circuit (MMIC), ×2 active broadband frequency multiplier. When driven by a 5 dBm signal, the multiplier provides 15 dBm typical output power. The output frequency range is from 22 GHz to 42 GHz, and the input fundamental and third harmonic isolations measured at the output are −23 dBc and −20 dBc, respectively, at an output frequency of 30 GHz. The HMC8342 is ideal for use in LO multiplier chains for point to point and VSAT radios, resulting in a reduced parts count vs. traditional design approaches.APPLICATIONSClock generationPoint to point and very small aperture terminal (VSAT) radiosTest instrumentationMilitary and space

The HMC835LP6GE is a low noise, wide band, Fractional-N PLL that features an integrated VCO with a fundamental frequency of 2020 to 4100 MHz, and an integrated VCO Output Divider (divide by 2/4/6/.../60/62) that together enable the HMC835LP6GE to generate frequencies from 33 MHz to 4100 MHz. Integrated Phase Detector (PD) and a deltasigma modulator capable of operating at up to 100 MHz enable wider loop-bandwidths, faster frequency changes along with excellent spectral performance.Two independent RF outputs, with independent gain control, enable the HMC835LP6GE to distribute identical frequency and phase signals to multiple destinations, at optimal signal levels tailored to each output.External VCO input, allows the HMC835LP6GE to lock external VCOs, and enables cascaded LO architectures for MIMO radio applications. Two separate Charge Pump (CP) outputs enable separate loop filters optimized for both integrated and external VCOs, and seamless switching between integrated or external VCOs during operation. Programmable RF output phase feature can further phase adjust and synchronize multiple HMC835LP6GEs enabling scalable MIMO and beam-forming radio architectures.Additional features include configurable output mute function that mutes RF outputs during frequency changes, Exact Frequency Mode that enables the HMC835LP6GE to generate fractional frequencies with 0 Hz frequency error, and the ability to synchronously change frequencies without changing the phase of the output signal.APPLICATIONSMIMO Radio ArchitecturesCellular InfrastructureCellular backhaulCommunications Test EquipmentCATV EquipmentPhased Array ApplicationsDDS Replacement

The HMC8362 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), quadband, monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) designed to offer wideband capabilities without compromising on phase noise performance. The device integrates four independent, narrow-band VCOs with overlapping frequency bands, operating at a fundamental frequency range of 11.90 GHz to 18.30 GHz. The consistent tuning sensitivity across all frequency bands simplifies the synthesizer loop filter design.The tuning port is common to all VCO cores for a simpler design of the phase-locked loop (PLL) feedback path. The HMC8362 also offers a low typical current consumption of 72 mA for power sensitive applications.The HMC8362 integrates resonators, negative resistance devices, and varactor diodes. The monolithic structure of the oscillator offers very low phase noise, optimal temperature stability, and is immune to vibration and process variation.The four VCOs are packaged in a single, 6 mm × 6 mm, surface-mount lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP), and require no external matching components.Combined with a high frequency, high performance phase-locked loop (PLL), the ADF41513, the HMC8362 offers a complete RF or microwave frequency generation solution.APPLICATIONSElectronic test and measurementIndustrial and medical instrumentationPoint to point and multipoint radiosAerospace and defenseWireless communication infrastructure
