When driven by a 3 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +13 dBm typical output power from 32 to 46 GHz. The Fo isolation is >30 dBc with respect to output signal level. This frequency multiplier features DC blocked I/O's, and is ideal for use in LO multiplier chains for Pt to Pt & VSAT Radios yielding reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches. The low additive SSB Phase Noise of -130 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps maintain good system noise performance. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25 C, Vdc = +5V, 3 dBm Drive Level Parameter Typ.
