Frequency Doubler Multiplier Category with Frequency Coverage from 8 GHz to 46 GHz Introduced by Pasternack

Pasternack New Frequency Doubler Multiplier Line Utilizes Efficient GaAs PHEMT MMIC Semiconductor Technology

New active frequency doubler multiplier components from Pasternack give designers the capability to double input frequencies up to 8 to 46 GHz millimeter wave bands. These Pasternack frequency doubler multiplier products utilize efficient GaAs PHEMT semiconductor technology in compact coaxial packages that generate up to +17 dBm output power which can eliminate the need for additional external components in system level applications. Active multipliers usually require long manufacturing cycles, but Pasternack offers all three models in-stock for same-day shipping.

Pasternack's active frequency doubler multipliers are important building block components used in local oscillator (LO) chains for radar, communication receivers and frequency sources to extend frequencies and achieve optimal performance. Frequency doublers support multiple markets and applications including electronic warfare, electronic countermeasures, point-to-point radio, VSAT radio, test instrumentation and telecom infrastructure.

The PE88X-series active x2 frequency multipliers from Pasternack double input frequencies ranging from 4 to 23 GHz up to desirable mm-wave output frequencies from 8 GHz to 46 GHz. These new two times multiplier designs use highly efficient GaAs PHEMT semiconductor technology with integrated amplifiers that produce high output power levels up to +17 dBm with excellent fundamental and harmonic suppression. This can eliminate the need for an external LO buffer amplifier stage and additional support circuitry.

Active frequency multipliers in this release require a single +5V DC supply. Input/output RF ports of these frequency doubler components are matched for 50 ohms and are DC blocked. The compact drop-in multiplier package assemblies are hermetically sealed and support field replaceable 2.92mm connectors. All frequency doublers are RoHS and Reach compliant and designed to meet MIL-STD environmental test conditions.
