RFVC1840
13.6GHz to 14.9GHz MMIC VCO with Fo/2 and Fo/4 Outputs
RFMD's RFVC1840 is a 5V InGaP MMIC VCO with an integrated frequency divider providing additional Fo/2 and Fo/4 outputs. With an Fo frequency range of 13.6GHz to 14.9GHz its monolithic structure provides excellent temperature, shock, and vibration performance. Output power (Fo) is +7dBm and is flat across the tuning voltage range of 1.5V to 14.5V. Phase noise is typically -110dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset. The device operates from a low supply current of 275mA which can be further reduced to 215mA by disabling the divider functions if not required. The RFVC1840 is available in a low cost 5mm x 5mm surface mount plastic overmolded QFN outline.
