HMC-C029 Datasheet | Hittite Microwave

Features Wide Tuning Bandwidth High Output Power: +20 d Bm Low SSB Phase Noise: -93 d Bc/Hz @100 k Hz No External Resonator Needed Single Positive Supply: +8V to +15V @ 195 m A Typical Applications The HMC-C029 VCO Module is ideal for: - Industrial/Medical Equipment - Test & Measurement Equipment - Military Radar, EW & ECM - Lab Instrumentation Ro HS pliant Hermeticaly Sealed Module Field Replaceable SMA Connectors -40°C to +85°C Operating Temperature General Description The HMC-C029 is a wideband Ga As In Ga P Voltage Controlled Oscillator which incorporates the resonator, negative resistance device, and varactor diode. An internal voltage regulator provides excellent 0.2 MHz/V frequency pushing while the output buffer amplifier boosts output power to +20 d Bm; which is enough to drive one or two mixers. Phase noise performance is excellent over temperature due to the oscillator’s monolithic construction. The Vtune port accepts an analog tuning voltage from 0 to +20V. The HMC-C029 VCO operates from a single +8V to +15V supply, and is housed in a hermetically sealed module. This wideband VCO uniquely bines the attributes of small size, low phase noise, wide tuning range and high output power.
