Coaxial x4 Multiplier 18–44 GHz from AT Microwave
The AT-AM4-1844-18L is a broadband active frequency multiplier that converts low-frequency RF signals into the millimeter-wave spectrum with high efficiency and spectral purity. Designed for demanding applications in 5G infrastructure, radar systems, test equipment, and SATCOM, the device delivers consistent +18 dBm output power across its entire 18–44 GHz operating range. The x4 multiplication factor translates input signals from 4.5–11 GHz directly into the mmWave domain.
