GaAs MMIC frequency doubler for RF and microwave uses in space applications offered by Teledyne e2v HiRel

MILPITAS, Calif. – The Teledyne e2v HiRel segment of the Teledyne Defense Electronics Group in Milpitas, Calif., is introducing the TDFM001000 RF monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) frequency doubler for high-reliability signal chain applications in space.

The TDFM001000, is for satellite transponders, transmit-and-receive modules, microwave-based communications, millimeter-wave point-to-point radio, and related space applications.

The TDFM001000 is a 7.5-to-25- and 15-to-50-GHz single-ended input gallium arsenide (GaAs) MMIC doubler with a +15.0 dBm output drive that designers can use to drive fundamental mixer devices. It uses a GaAs pseudomorphic high-electron mobility transistor (PHEMT) and is based on electron beam lithography to ensure high repeatability and uniformity.

Other key features of this RF and microwave device include: single-ended input doubling with distributed buffer amplifier; 100 percent on-wafer RF, DC, and output power testing; 100 percent visual inspection to MIL-STD-883 Method 2010; RoHS compliance; and is compatible with 260-degree Celsius reflow.
