What are the key features of HMC204MS8GE-AN?
- Passive frequency doubler covering 4 GHz to 8 GHz input frequency range, enabling millimeter-wave LO generation without active amplifier stages
- SMT MSOP-8 package allowing direct PCB integration into microwave and mmWave signal chains with minimal parasitic inductance
- Passive architecture requiring no DC bias supply, reducing power consumption and simplifying PCB power distribution in RF modules
What is HMC204MS8GE-AN used for?
The HMC204MS8GE-AN is used in microwave and millimeter-wave signal generation chains where a local oscillator (LO) frequency must be doubled from a 4 GHz to 8 GHz input to achieve higher-frequency outputs. It is well-suited for radar front-ends, point-to-point microwave backhaul systems, and test and measurement equipment requiring clean harmonic generation. The passive topology and SMT package simplify integration into dense RF PCB assemblies operating in the X-band and Ku-band frequency ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What input frequency range does HMC204MS8GE-AN support and what is the corresponding output frequency?
The HMC204MS8GE-AN accepts input frequencies from 4 GHz to 8 GHz and produces an output at twice the input frequency, yielding an output range of 8 GHz to 16 GHz. This makes it useful for X-band and Ku-band LO generation in radar, satellite communication, and microwave backhaul systems.
Does HMC204MS8GE-AN require a DC supply voltage, and how does this simplify RF module design?
No, the HMC204MS8GE-AN is a passive frequency doubler that requires no DC bias supply. Eliminating the supply rail removes the need for decoupling capacitors, bias regulation circuitry, and associated PCB trace routing near the RF signal path, simplifying the power distribution network and reducing potential sources of spurious emissions in sensitive microwave front-end designs.
For a Ku-band radar LO chain, how does HMC204MS8GE-AN compare to an active frequency multiplier?
As a passive device, HMC204MS8GE-AN has lower conversion gain than an active multiplier—it incurs insertion loss rather than providing gain—but it offers advantages in power consumption (zero DC power), lower phase noise contribution, and simpler integration in the MSOP-8 SMT package. It is preferred when the LO source already has sufficient output power to absorb the doubler's conversion loss, typically requiring at least 0 dBm to 10 dBm input drive for adequate output level.
Which package does HMC204MS8GE-AN use and how does it affect PCB layout for microwave frequencies?
The device uses an MSOP-8 surface-mount package. At 4 GHz to 8 GHz input frequencies, MSOP-8 lead inductances (typically 1 nH to 2 nH per pin) must be accounted for in the PCB layout. Designers should use short, controlled-impedance microstrip traces of 50 ohms, place RF bypass capacitors within 0.5 mm of the pins, and minimize via stubs to maintain signal integrity across the operating band.
