Three Wide-band VCO Modules with Low Phase Noise
Hittite Microwave Corporation introduces three wideband voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) modules which are suitable for test and measurement, military, microwave radio, space, industrial and laboratory applications from 4 to 12.5 GHz. The HMC-C028, HMC-C029 and HMC-C030 modules offer output frequency coverage from 4 to 8 GHz, 5 to 10 GHz, and 8 to 12.5 GHz respectively, and they feature an integrated buffer amplifier for increased output power and low frequency pulling characteristics. They exhibit SSB phase noise performance of -95 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset, and an output power of +21 dBm. Internal voltage regulation enables these fully integrated modules to operate from a single supply between +8 V and +15 V, while consuming less than 200 mA of current. The single-ended RF outputs are matched to 50 Ohms, while the Vtune ports accept analog tuning voltages from 0 to +13V, and can accommodate very fast tuning bandwidths. The HMC-C028, HMC-C029 and HMC-C030 share a common footprint, and are housed in hermetically sealed RoHS compliant modules which also meet stringent military and space solder material requirements.
