Product details
Overview
103313-HMC188MS8 from Analog Devices (formerly Hittite Microwave) is a GaAs MMIC passive frequency doubler in an 8-lead MSOP package, converting 1.25–3.0 GHz input to 2.5–6.0 GHz output with 15 dB typical conversion loss at +15 dBm drive, 45 dB fundamental isolation, and operation from –40°C to +85°C. It serves as a low-phase-noise RF signal multiplier in point-to-point radio transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the 103313-HMC188MS8 datasheet, 103313-HMC188MS8 pinout, 103313-HMC188MS8 application, or 103313-HMC188MS8 equivalent, key selection criteria include input drive range (+10 to +20 dBm), harmonic suppression performance, thermal operating limits, and RF port impedance matching (50 Ω DC-coupled input/output).
Technical Context
This passive doubler uses Schottky diode/balun architecture derived from Hittite's MMIC mixer platform, delivering no additive phase noise. It operates without bias-no VDD or control pins-and relies entirely on RF drive level for nonlinear mixing.
Input and output ports are DC-coupled and impedance-matched to 50 Ω across full bandwidths (1.25–3.0 GHz input; 2.5–6.0 GHz output). All ground pins (1,3–6,8) must be soldered to PCB RF/DC ground per layout requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Freq Range | 1.25–3.0 GHz: supports full-band U-NII, LMDS, and VSAT uplink/downlink bands |
| Output Freq Range | 2.5–6.0 GHz: covers doubled 5 GHz UNII-1/2/3 and HiperLAN/2 channels |
| Conversion Loss | 15 dB typ @ +15 dBm: defines RF power budget penalty when doubling signal |
| Fo Isolation | 45 dB typ @ input level: suppresses fundamental leakage into output path |
| 3Fo/4Fo Isolation | ≥43 dB typ @ input level: minimizes spurious content at triple/fourth harmonics |
| Input Drive Range | +10 to +20 dBm: enables use with standard RF power amplifiers without external attenuation |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C: qualifies for outdoor wireless infrastructure and industrial RF modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar passive frequency doubler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC567LP3E | Wider input range (2–8 GHz), higher conversion loss (18 dB typ), QFN-16 package | Better suited for multi-band test equipment; less optimal for narrowband 2.5 GHz WLL due to higher loss | Select when broader input bandwidth outweighs 3 dB loss penalty and board space allows larger QFN |
| Qorvo QM11028 | Input 1.7–2.7 GHz only, 14 dB conversion loss, 6-pin SOT-363 package | Optimized for 2.4 GHz ISM/Wi-Fi doubling; lacks coverage for full 1.25–3.0 GHz range of 103313-HMC188MS8 | Prefer for cost-sensitive 2.4 GHz consumer radios where 1.25 GHz low-end coverage is unnecessary |
Compared with HMC567LP3E and QM11028, the 103313-HMC188MS8 uniquely balances full 1.25–3.0 GHz input coverage, 15 dB loss, and MSOP-8 manufacturability-making it optimal for standardized UNII/HiperLAN infrastructure designs requiring guaranteed low-end band support.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input drive level for the 103313-HMC188MS8?
The 103313-HMC188MS8 has an absolute maximum input drive level of +27 dBm. Exceeding this may cause permanent damage to the internal GaAs Schottky diodes. Operation within the recommended +10 to +20 dBm range ensures optimal conversion loss and harmonic suppression. The 103313-HMC188MS8 datasheet specifies thermal derating above +20 dBm, and sustained operation near +27 dBm is not advised for production designs.
Does the 103313-HMC188MS8 require DC bias or external power?
No, the 103313-HMC188MS8 is a fully passive device and requires no DC bias voltage, current, or external power supply. It functions solely via RF-driven nonlinearity in its integrated Schottky diode structure. This eliminates the need for bias tees, decoupling capacitors, or LDO regulators-simplifying layout and reducing bill-of-materials cost. The 103313-HMC188MS8 operates identically across its full temperature range without recalibration.
What is the significance of the 45 dB Fo isolation specification for the 103313-HMC188MS8?
The 45 dB Fo isolation (fundamental frequency isolation) means that the 103313-HMC188MS8 attenuates the input signal at Fin by at least 45 dB relative to its own input level at the RFOUT port. This prevents undesired feedthrough of the fundamental into downstream stages-reducing filter complexity and improving spectral purity. For the 103313-HMC188MS8, this value is measured across 1.25–3.0 GHz input and holds at +15 dBm drive, directly impacting system ACLR and adjacent-channel interference.
Can the 103313-HMC188MS8 be used in a 5.8 GHz ISM band application?
Yes-the 103313-HMC188MS8 supports output frequencies from 2.5 to 6.0 GHz, fully covering the 5.725–5.875 GHz ISM band when driven with a 2.8625–2.9375 GHz input. Its 15 dB typical conversion loss and >43 dB 3Fo/4Fo suppression ensure compliant spectral mask performance. The 103313-HMC188MS8 achieves this without external tuning, provided the input source is 50 Ω matched and within its +10 to +20 dBm drive window.
What package variant does the 103313-HMC188MS8 correspond to?
The 103313-HMC188MS8 corresponds to the standard Sn/Pb-finished MSOP-8 package (MSL1, peak reflow 235°C), marked "H188" with a 4-digit lot code. It is distinct from the RoHS-compliant HMC188MS8E variant (100% matte Sn, 260°C reflow). Both share identical electrical specs and pinout, but the 103313-HMC188MS8 is intended for legacy manufacturing flows requiring Pb-based solder compatibility.
