Active Frequency Multipliers with Output Frequency Coverage from 8 to 46 GHz

Pasternack’s PE88X series Active Frequency Multipliers simplify system designs by offering high output power levels and 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. They support multiple markets and applications including electronic warfare, electronic countermeasures, point-to-point radio, VSAT radio, test instrumentation and telecom infrastructure.

These active frequency (x2) multipliers double input frequencies ranging from 4 to 23 GHz up to desirable microwave and mm-wave output frequencies ranging from 8 GHz to 46 GHz. Additionally, these new 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. Another key feature is low additive phase noise performance, as low as -142 dBc/Hz at 100 KHz offset.

The PE88X series frequency multipliers require a single +5V DC supply. Input/output RF ports are matched for 50 ohms and are DC blocked. The compact drop-in package assemblies are hermetically sealed and support field replaceable 2.92mm connectors. All models are RoHS and Reach compliant and designed to meet MIL-STD environmental test conditions.
