ZX90-12-63-S+

Overview

The ZX90-12-63-S+ is a passive frequency multiplier module manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It provides a multiplication factor of 12x, converting an input frequency range of 375 to 500 MHz into an output frequency range of 4500 to 6000 MHz. The device utilizes SMA connectors for interfacing and is designed for general-purpose signal conditioning applications within the specified RF bands.

Feature Summary

• Passive frequency multiplication with a fixed 12x conversion factor
• Operates across a wide input band from 375 MHz to 500 MHz
• Generates output signals in the 4.5 GHz to 6.0 GHz range
• Integrated SMA connectors for direct circuit integration

Applications

• RF signal generation systems requiring harmonic extension
• Test and measurement equipment operating in the 4-6 GHz band
• Communication subsystems utilizing frequency synthesis techniques

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision date, as performance specifications such as conversion loss may vary between document versions. Confirm that the SMA connector polarity and mating requirements align with your system interface. Ensure input drive levels remain within the specified limits to maintain optimal spectral purity and prevent component degradation during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 12x multiplication ratio is required without active tuning capabilities. It is suitable for designs where a compact, passive solution is preferred over complex synthesizer architectures. Verify that the input source can provide sufficient power at frequencies up to 500 MHz to achieve the desired output performance in the target application environment.

Part Context

This module belongs to the ZX90 series of frequency multipliers from Mini-Circuits. The series offers various multiplication factors and frequency ranges tailored for different RF applications. The ZX90-12-63-S+ specifically addresses needs for generating higher frequency signals from lower frequency inputs using passive nonlinear elements housed in a shielded module.
