Pasterack, Inc., a leading provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, has released a series of new active frequency multipliers that simplify system design by providing high output power levels.

Pasternack millimeter wave active frequency multiplier

The active frequency multiplier described above is an important component of the building blocks used in the local oscillator (LO) chain of radars, communication receivers and frequency sources, which expands the frequency and achieves optimum performance. These frequency multipliers support a variety of markets and applications including electronic warfare, electronic countermeasures, point-to-point wireless communications, VSAT wireless communications, test equipment and telecommunications infrastructure.

The PE88X series of active frequency multipliers (twice) doubles the input frequency of 4~23GHz to the required 8GHz~46GHz millimeter wave output frequency. These new products use the highly efficient GaAsPHEMT semiconductor technology with an integrated amplifier that produces an output power level of up to +17dBm with excellent fundamental and harmonic rejection, eliminating the need for external LO buffer amplifier stages and supporting circuitry. System requirements.

The above active frequency multiplier features the following: a single +5V DC power supply; the input/output RF end has a DC-blocker and a 50 ohm matching resistor; the fully sealed, compact plug-in package supports a field-replaceable 2.92mm connector; All models are RoHS and Reach compliant and MIL-STD environmental test conditions.

“ Pastronack 's new family of active frequency multipliers gives designers the ability to double-amplify frequencies up to 8 GHz to 46 GHz millimeters. These products use highly efficient GaAsPHEMT semiconductor technology in a compact coaxial package that produces up to +17 dBm. Output power, which eliminates the need for additional external components in system-level applications,” explains TimGalla, active device product manager at Pasternack. “Active multipliers typically require longer manufacturing cycles, but all three of Pasternack Models are available for immediate delivery."

The above new active frequency multipliers are stocked in the library and can be shipped at any time. You can get more information about these products at https:// For other questions, please call Pasternack China (Tel: +86-21-36558021).
