Frequency Multiplier (x4, x8)

Model BXMF1009 (400 - 450 MHz)

Description

Spectrum Microwave offers a line of low noise frequency

multipliers based on multiple passive doubler/amplifier

combinations. This series of multipliers cover input fre-

quency ranges of 400 to 450 MHz with output frequencies

from 1600 to 3600 MHz. Additive phase noise testing

ensures low phase noise/jitter performance. All internal

amplifiers and doublers are contained in rugged TO-8 her-

metic packages for excellent performance over military

environmental conditions.

Optional Features

• Output Filtering

• Digital ECL Outputs (Single or Differential)

• Built-in Test Power Detectors

• Internal Voltage Regulators

Applications

• Synthesizer Building Block

• SIGINT
