The ACST 213CX is a high-efficiency, bias-controlled frequency tripler designed for millimeter-wave systems operating from 88 to 100 GHz input and delivering 265 to 300 GHz output. Based on ACST’s high-power balanced multiplier technology, the 213CX provides flat frequency response, excellent harmonic suppression, and reliable high-power output performance across the operating band. Bias control is required for optimal operation at specified input power levels. Its gold-plated brass construction ensures low RF loss and dependable performance for laboratory instrumentation, FMCW radar, active imaging, telecommunications, and LO source applications.
