Passive Multiplier
Accepting input signals between 73 and 110 GHz at +17 dBm, model SFP-03310-UEB is a passive ×3 multiplier that produces THz signals with 0 dBm amplitude. When combined with a sweeper or a synthesized signal source, the multiplier preserves the stability and accuracy of the source. Typical harmonic suppression is 20 dB. The input and output signals pass through WR-10 and WR-03 waveguides ports with UG-387/U-M anti-cocking flanges. Dimensions are 0.75 × 0.75 × 0.75 in.
