HMC189AMS8TR

Overview

The HMC189AMS8TR is a passive GaAs MMIC frequency doubler manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within an input frequency range of 2 GHz to 4 GHz, producing output signals at double the input frequency. The device features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes an 8-MSOP surface-mount package. It exhibits an insertion loss of 13 dB and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This component is designed for signal conditioning applications requiring compact RF solutions.

Feature Summary

• Passive GaAs MMIC technology for robust RF performance
• Dedicated frequency doubling function in a compact SMT package
• Integrated 50 Ohm impedance matching for direct system integration

Applications

• HiperLAN systems
• UNII band applications
• VSAT communications

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as this component may be discontinued or subject to limited supply constraints. Confirm that the specific suffix corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts and thermal management strategies before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a passive frequency doubling solution is required for the 2-4 GHz input range. Consider the 13 dB insertion loss impact on system gain budget. Evaluate the 8-MSOP package dimensions against available PCB real estate. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the intended deployment scenario.
