HMC1020LP4E_Maximum operating frequency

Dear team,

Our customer is using the HMC1020LP4E for a long time.

But she wants to use this detector at 4.2GHz.

Is it possible to use at this frequency?

We are looking forward to your advice.

Thank you.

Regards,

Josh

  • Greetings Josh,

    Using HMC1020 at 4.2GHz is not recommended, because performance is quickly degrading above the specified max. 3.9GHz. 

    Has customer considered HMC909? This device is very similar to HMC1020 except with RF frequency range extended. The tradeoff in this case will be dynamic range is less.  ADL5902 may also work for this application.   -Bruce H.
