- MLPNC Series comb generators provide
superior phase noise performance up to 20 dBc/Hz better than
conventional SRD-based solutions
- Plug-and-play, monolithic NLTL-based
comb generators simplify design cycles by eliminating complex
SRD-based harmonic generation circuitry
- Solutions will be showcased at IMS 2018
in booth #1125
MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of
high performance RF, microwave, millimeterwave and photonic
solutions, today announced a portfolio of Non-Linear Transmission
Line (NLTL) comb generators optimized to meet the demanding
performance requirements of radar transceiver, VSAT and microwave
radio applications. Featuring the lowest phase noise in the
industry today, MACOM’s MLPNC Series comb generators deliver
superior performance and ease-of-design compared to conventional
step recovery diode (SRD) based offerings.

The industry-leading phase noise
performance delivered by MACOM’s MLPNC Series comb generators is
expected to significantly improve the overall performance of RF
multiplier modules, complemented by a variable low input power
profile (18 – 24 dBm) that relaxes the power requirements on power
amplifiers and reduces overall power consumption. MLPNC Series comb
generators also enable higher harmonic power at higher frequencies,
in contrast with SRD-based comb generators whereby output power
rapidly rolls off above 20 GHz. (Photo: Business Wire)
The industry-leading phase noise performance delivered by
MACOM’s MLPNC Series comb generators is expected to significantly
improve the overall performance of RF multiplier modules,
complemented by a variable low input power profile (18 – 24 dBm)
that relaxes the power requirements on power amplifiers and reduces
overall power consumption. MLPNC Series comb generators also enable
higher harmonic power at higher frequencies, in contrast with
SRD-based comb generators whereby output power rapidly rolls off
above 20 GHz.
MACOM’s monolithic, NLTL-based MLPNC Series comb generators
reduce design complexities by eliminating the harmonic generation
circuitry needed with SRD-based devices. No bias or tuning is
required, and the wide input frequency range extends from 75 – 1500
MHz across the portfolio, enabling the use of a single comb
generator for multiple designs, or in combination with a tunable
source. MACOM’s MLPNC Series comb generators are available in space
saving, compact SMT and connectorized SMA packaging options.
“With the launch of our MLPNC Series comb generators, MACOM has
again pushed the boundaries of RF device performance while
simultaneously helping to simplify our customers’ frequency
synthesizer designs,” said Graham Board, Senior Director of
Product Marketing, MACOM. “We believe that our NLTL comb generators
deliver best-in-class phase noise performance with useable
harmonics up to 50GHz. MACOM’s Combs are MMIC-based so they are
more reliable and repeatable than SRD based solutions. As a further
advantage we offer both surface-mount and connectorized
solutions.”
For over 60 years, MACOM’s design and applications experts have
spearheaded innovation in the RF, microwave and millimeterwave
domain, developing the industry’s broadest portfolio of MMICs and
components spanning the entire RF signal chain. Leveraging
advanced, proprietary technologies, MACOM’s heterogeneous
semiconductor and packaging strategy ensures that each individual
RF system function is fully optimized to deliver maximum
performance at the appropriate cost. MACOM remains firmly committed
to delivering true competitive advantage to our customers,
providing superior technology, expertise, cost structures and
supply chains – with no compromises.
