The LNDD is a frequency doubler that provides excellent phase noise performance for outputs to 1 GHz with low conversion loss. This module features a Schottky Diode doubler with an integrated bandpass filter to control unwanted multiplier products and a low noise amplifier to provide close to 9 dB conversion loss. The diode doubler is designed for a typical input level of +12 dBm to ensure optimal performance. Common amplifiers are offered for flexibility in configuring input/output levels (see amplifier selection table). Please consult our technical staff for assistance in configuring a multiplier to suit your input and output requirements.
