Description

Avago Technologies' AMMC-6120 is an easy-to-use x2

active frequency multiplier MMIC designed for com-

mercial communication systems. Though capable of

doubling to 24 GHz with reduced fundamental suppres-

sion, the MMIC is designed to take a 4 to 10 GHz input

and double it to 8 to 24 GHz. It has integrated output

amplifier, matching harmonic suppression, and bias

networks. The input/output are matched to 50 Ω

and fully DC blocked. The MMIC is fabricated using

PHEMT technology. The backside of this die is both RF

and DC ground. This helps simplify the assembly process

and reduces assembly related performance variations

and costs. For improved reliability and moisture protec-

tion, the die is passivated at the active areas. This MMIC is

a cost effective alternative to bulky hybrid FET and diode

doublers that require high input drive power, have high

C.L. and poor fundamental suppression.
