HMC-C029 v01.1007 WIDEBAND VCO w/ BUFFER AMPLIFIER MODULE, 5 - 10 GHz 12 Features Wide Tuning Bandwidth High Output Power: +20 dBm Low SSB Phase Noise: -93 dBc/Hz 100 kHz No External Resonator Needed Single Positive Supply: +8V to +15V 195 mA RoHS Compliant Hermetically Sealed Module Typical Applications Field Replaceable SMA Connectors The HMC-C029 VCO Module is ideal for: -40C to +85C Operating Temperature Industrial/Medical Equipment Test & Measurement Equipment General Description Military Radar, EW & ECM The HMC-C029 is a wideband GaAs InGaP Voltage Lab Instrumentation Controlled Oscillator which incorporates the resonator, negative resistance device, and varactor Functional Diagram diode. An internal voltage regulator provides excellent 0.2 MHz/V frequency pushing while the output buffer ampl ifier boosts output power to +20 dBm which is enough to drive one or two mixers. Phase noise performance is excellent over temperature due to the oscillators 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 combines the attributes of small size, low phase noise, wide tuning range and high output power. Electrical Specifi cations, T = +25 C, Vdc = +12V A Parameter Min. Typ.
