HMC331-SX

Overview

The HMC331-SX is a passive miniature frequency doubler MMIC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 24GHz to 36GHz, providing x2 frequency multiplication for input signals between 12GHz and 18GHz. The device features typical suppression of undesired fundamental and higher-order harmonics at 50dB. It is designed in a die package configuration suitable for surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Passive frequency doubling functionality
• High harmonic suppression performance
• Miniature die package design

Applications

• Millimeter-wave signal generation
• Frequency synthesis systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements for the SX variant against official Analog Devices documentation to ensure compatibility with system design constraints. Confirm that the die-package form factor aligns with available mounting infrastructure and thermal management strategies prior to integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a passive solution is required for doubling frequencies in the 12-18GHz range up to 24-36GHz output. Consider the high harmonic suppression capability as a key differentiator for applications demanding clean spectral purity without additional filtering stages.
