MAX2M030180

Overview

The MAX2M030180 is an active frequency doubler manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ, designed for RF and microwave applications. It operates within a minimum input frequency of 1500 MHz and a maximum operating frequency of 9000 MHz. The device utilizes a coaxial construction and accepts a maximum continuous wave (CW) input power of 8 dBm. It functions within a temperature range from -30 °C to 75 °C. This component serves as a fundamental frequency multiplier in high-performance systems.

Feature Summary

• Active frequency doubling capability across the specified microwave spectrum
• Coaxial physical construction for robust signal integrity
• Operates with standard +5V DC supply requirements

Applications

• Microwave communication systems requiring frequency translation
• Radar subsystems utilizing harmonic generation
• Test and measurement equipment needing precise frequency multiplication

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the MAX2M030180 to confirm electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure that the input power does not exceed the 8 dBm CW limit to prevent device damage. Confirm compatibility with the required SMA connector interface and +5V power supply specifications before integration into the final system design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed frequency doubling function is required between 1.5 GHz and 9 GHz inputs. Consider the 8 dBm input power constraint and the need for a +5V bias supply. Evaluate the conversion loss characteristics against system link budget requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended application site.
