GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC8364 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), quadband, mono- The HMC8364 integrates resonators, negative resistance devices, lithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), voltage controlled and varactor diodes. The monolithic structure of the oscillator oscillator (VCO) designed to offer wideband frequency capabilities offers very low phase noise, optimal temperature stability, and without compromising phase noise performance. The device inte- is immune to vibration and process variation. grates four independent, narrow-band VCOs with overlapping The four VCOs are packaged in a single, 6 mm 6 mm, frequency bands, operating at a fundamental frequency range surface-mount lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP), and of 18.10 GHz to 26.60 GHz. The consistent tuning sensitivity require no external matching components. across all frequency bands simplifies the synthesizer loop filter Combined with a high frequency, high performance PLL, the design. ADF41513, the HMC8364 offers a complete RF or microwave The tuning port is common to all VCO cores for a simpler frequency generation solution. design of the phase-locked loop (PLL) feedback path. The HMC8364 also offers a low typical current consumption of 99 mA for power sensitive applications. Rev.
