EV1HMC8342LS6 Evaluation Board

Analog Devices Inc. EV1HMC8342LS6 Evaluation Board is a demonstration and development platform for the HMC8342 x2 Active Broadband Frequency Multiplier. The HMC8342 is a GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) designed to provide 15dBm typical output power when driven by a 5dBm signal. The output frequency range is from 22GHz to 42GHz, and the input fundamental and third harmonic isolations measured at the output are -23dBc and -20dBc at an output frequency of 30GHz. The HMC8342 is ideal for use in LO multiplier chains for point-to-point and VSAT radios, resulting in a reduced parts count compared to traditional designs.
