Frequency Multipliers
X4, X8 Multiplication
SPECTRUM MICROWAVE
Spectrum Microwave offers a line of low noise
frequency multipliers based on multiple passive doubler/
amplifier combinations. These custom designed assemblies
cover input frequency ranges of 5 to 500 MHz with output
frequencies in the range of 100 to 1000 MHz. Narrowband
or broadband devices are available. Additive phase noise
testing ensures low phase noise/jitter performance. All
internal amplifiers and doublers are contained in rugged
TO-8 hermetic packages for excellent performance over
military environmental conditions.
