Pacific Millimeter Products
Pacific Millimeter Products (PMP) was organized in 1984 to fulfill a need for a low cost alternative to expensive millimeter wave components. The initial product line was a series of broadband detectors and harmonic mixers. This line has now expanded to include upconverters, downconverters, filters, frequency multipliers, integrated receiver front-ends and many custom designed integrated assemblies.

Frequency Multipliers
A series of broadband frequency multipliers is available with output frequencies between 18 and 110 GHz. The use of GaAs diodes on a suspended substrate circuit allows an extremely compact device. Circuit symmetry is used to enhance either even or odd harmonics while suppressing unwanted odd or even harmonics. These devices can be used as higher order even or odd harmonic multipliers with reduced efficiency. All of these multipliers have maximum input power +23 dBm for temperature less than +50°C.

Integrated Couplers/ Harmonic Mixers
These waveguide bandwidth integrated coupler/mixers are designed to allow phase locking or signal monitoring of compact millimeter wave systems. RF inputs and outputs are on opposite sides of a thin wafer to obtain minimum insertion length. These devices use silicon Schottky barrier beam-lead diodes on a rugged stripline circuit. Nominal coupling value is 10 dB. For coupling values greater than 10 dB, non-directional coupler models are available (consult factory).

Bandpass Filters
These bandpass filters utilize a suspended stripline design to obtain a very compact configuration. Applications include wideband receiver input preselection and output filtering of frequency multiplied RF power sources.

Harmonic Mixers
These waveguide bandwidth harmonic mixers are designed for use with spectrum analzyers with diplexers, such as the Tektronix 492 and 494 and the Hewlett-Packard 8555A, 8565A and 8569A. They are also used as phase locking and receiver mixers for antenna measurement systems such as the Scientific Atlanta wide range receivers. When used with an external diplexer*, these harmonicmixers can be used to phase lock millimeter wave sources.

Broadband Detectors
These waveguide bandwidth detectors use silicon beam lead diodes on a planar stripline circuit to obtain an extremely rugged and compact device. Most millimeter wave broadband detectors have very poor VSWR due to the difficulty in obtaining a good wideband impedance match to the diode. To overcome this problem, these detectors utilize two diodes and an internal matched termination and 3 dB hybrid as shown below. This circuit allows a VSWR of 2.0 or better over a full waveguide bandwidth for most of these detectors. Detectors for waveguides WR-8 and smaller use a single zero bias GaAs diode. The high sensitivity zero bias GaAs diodes can also be special ordered for use at lower frequencies when highest sensitivity is required.
