Mini-Circuits has developed ZXF90A-3-34X+, a wideband active frequency multiplier (tripler) that converts input frequencies of 6 to 12 GHz into output frequencies of 18 to 36 GHz. This wide output frequency range makes it suitable for broadband systems, as well as a large number of narrow-band applications. The ZXF90A-3-34X+ uses Mini-Circuits’ own ultra-low phase noise GaAs HBT LVA-273PN-D+ MMIC amplifier to drive a Mini-Circuits GaAs HBT CY3-453-D+ frequency tripler or use for chipset testing.
This multiplier also contains integrated reflectionless filters, the XLF-962-DG+ and the XHF-1832-DG+, to suppress the fundamental, second, and fourth harmonics. It also offers excellent spectral purity, which makes the ZXF90A-3-34X+ a reliable choice for applications such as 5G MIMO, satellite communications, test instrumentation, and electronic warfare (EW).
