Typical Applications
The HMC204MS8G is suitable for:
Wireless Local Loop
LMDS, VSAT, and Pt to Pt Radios
UNII & HiperLAN
Test Equipment
The HMC204MS8G is a passive miniature frequency
doubler in an 8 lead MSOP surface mount package.
Suppression of undesired fundamental and higher
order harmonics is 42 dB typical with respect to
input signal level. The doubler utilizes the same
GaAs Schottky diode/balun technology found in Hit-
tite MMIC mixers. It requires no DC bias and adds no
measurable phase noise onto the multiplied signal.

The circuit board used in the fi nal application should be generated with proper RF circuit design techniques. Signal
lines at the RF port should have 50 ohm impedance and the package ground leads and exposed ground paddle should
be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown above. The evaluation circuit board shown above is
available from Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
