Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Dec 24, 2008

Crystek Microwave has introduced the Crystek Pocket Passive Doubler (CPPD) series of frequency multipliers.

These CPPD models are designed in a rugged SMA housing for easy in-line assembly and operation in test equipment and general lab use.

The CPPD-0.85-2 will accept an input frequency from 0.85 to 2.0 GHz and multiply by a factor of two to achieve output frequencies from 1.7 to 4.0 GHz.

Likewise, the input for the CPPD-2-4 is 2.0 to 4.0 GHz with an output of 4.0 to 8.0 GHz.

The CCPD frequency multipliers feature an input drive level of +10dBm to +20dBm with a typical conversion loss of 15dB for the CPPD-0.85-2.0 and 13dB for the CPPD-2-4.

Isolation (Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo) for both is rated at 33dB typical.

Maximum output power rating for the CPPD line is +27dBm, with an operating temperature of -40C to 85C and a storage temperature of -55C to 100C.
