Typical Applications
The HMC158C8 is suitable for:
Wireless Local Loop
LMDS, VSAT, and Pt to Pt Radios
UNII & HiperLAN
Test Equipment
The HMC158C8 is a miniature frequency doubler
MMIC in a non-hermetic ceramic surface mount
non-hermetic package. Suppression of undesired
fundamental and higher order harmonics is 40 dB
typical with respect to input signal level. The dou-
bler uses the same diode/balun technology used
in Hittite MMIC mixers, features small size and
requires no DC bias.

* Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350
The circuit board used in the fi nal application
should be generated with proper RF circuit
design techniques. Signal lines should have
50 ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and exposed paddle should be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown.
The evaluation circuit board shown is available
from Hittite upon request.
