Description

The 5.8-GHz frequency doubler IC is designed with Atmel’s Silicon-Germanium (SiGe) process and provides a high conversion gain.

The device consists of a doubler stage, a filter and a driver amplifier with an output power of 11 dBm. The output stage was realized using an open-collector structure. Power-up/down and output levels are controlled via the bias control pin 6 and pin 7 (VCTL).
