CY2-143+

Overview

The CY2-143+ is an ultra-wideband MMIC frequency multiplier designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates as a doubler, converting input frequencies from 2000 to 7000 MHz into output frequencies ranging from 4000 to 14000 MHz. The component utilizes GaAs HBT technology and features a typical conversion loss of 12 dB. It provides high fundamental and harmonic suppression, with F1 at 30 dBc, F3 at 32 dBc, and F4 at 17 dBc. The device is housed in a compact 4 x 4 x 1 mm MCLP-24 surface-mount package and supports operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
