HMC-C028

CONNECTORIZED MODULES - VCOs 12 v02.0916 HMC-C028 WIDEBAND VCO w/ BUFFER AMPLIFIER MODULE, 4 - 8 GHz Typical Applications The HMC-C028 VCO Module is ideal for: Industrial/Medical Equipment Test & Measurement Equipment Military Radar, EW & ECM Lab Instrumentation Functional Diagram Features Wide Tuning Bandwidth High Output Power: +20 dBm Low SSB Phase Noise: -95 dBc/Hz @100 kHz No External Resonator Needed Single Positive Supply: +8 to +15V @ 185 mA RoHS Compliant Hermetically Sealed Module Field Replaceable SMA Connectors -40°C to +85°C Operating Temperature General Description The HMC-C028 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 is enough to drive one or two mixers. Phase noise performance is excellent over temperature due to the oscillator’s monolithic constructi...
