  Harmonic Multiplier
 
100 to 2600 MHz Multiplier
The 310-027023-01 Harmonic Multiplier provides the system designer with a compact, low phase noise building block for Reference Oscillator multiplication applications.
A linear amplifier drives a step recovery diode thereby multiplying an input 100 MHz clock signal by a factor of 26. A pair of 3-pole ceramic Bandpass filters and a pair of linear driver amplifiers improves the spurious response.
This unit exhibits very little degradation of input reference signals, multiplying to the desired output frequency while only degrading the input phase noise performance by 30 dB. Please consult the factory for other available configurations.
