HMC-C030

v03.0708 HMC-C030 WIDEBAND VCO w/ BUFFER AMPLIFIER MODULE, 8.0 - 12.5 GHz VCOs 10 Features Wide Tuning Bandwidth High Output Power: +21 dBm SSB Phase Noise: -83 dBc/Hz @100 kHz No External Resonator Needed Single Positive Supply: +8V to +15V @ 195 mA Typical Applications The HMC-C030 VCO Module is ideal for: Industrial/Medical Equipment RoHS Compliant Hermetically Sealed Module Field Replaceable SMA Connectors -40°C to +85°C Operating Temperature Test & Measurement Equipment Military Radar, EW & ECM Lab Instrumentation Functional Diagram General Description The HMC-C030 is a wideband GaAs InGaP 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 dBm; which is enough to drive one or two mixers. Phase noise performance is stable over temperature due to the oscil...
