Key Features
- 4 GHz to 8 GHz input frequency range enabling wideband frequency doubling for microwave and millimeter-wave synthesizer chains
- 27 dBm maximum CW input power handling supporting high-drive local oscillator and signal generation applications
- 50-ohm characteristic impedance passive SMT construction for direct integration into standard 50-ohm RF PCB layouts
Applications
The HMC204MS8GETR is used in microwave frequency synthesizers, radar front-ends, and test-and-measurement signal generators where a 4 GHz to 8 GHz input must be doubled to produce an 8 GHz to 16 GHz output. Its passive architecture eliminates DC bias requirements, simplifying integration into LO distribution networks and reducing phase noise contribution. The surface-mount package suits compact RF module designs in point-to-point radio, electronic warfare, and satellite communication systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the operating frequency range and maximum input power of HMC204MS8GETR?
The HMC204MS8GETR operates with input frequencies from 4 GHz to 8 GHz and handles up to 27 dBm continuous-wave input power. This makes it suitable for high-drive LO doubler stages in microwave synthesizers and radar systems where the output band spans 8 GHz to 16 GHz.
Does HMC204MS8GETR require DC bias, and how does that simplify circuit design?
The HMC204MS8GETR is a passive frequency doubler requiring no DC supply voltage or bias current. Eliminating bias circuitry reduces PCB complexity, removes a source of spurious emissions from bias feeds, and simplifies 50-ohm impedance matching in broadband LO chains from 4 GHz to 8 GHz input.
In what RF system architectures does HMC204MS8GETR provide a frequency extension advantage over active doublers?
In satellite uplink transmitters and point-to-point microwave radio systems where low added phase noise is critical, passive doublers like HMC204MS8GETR add minimal noise figure compared to active multiplier ICs. The device extends 4 GHz to 8 GHz VCO coverage into the 8 GHz to 16 GHz band without introducing amplifier noise, making it ideal for phase-sensitive radar and electronic warfare frequency generation chains.
