HMC-C073

HMC-C073 v01.1110 WIDEBAND VCO WITH BUFFER AMPLIFIER MODULE, 38.4 - 43.2 GHz Features Wideband Tuning Frequency: 38.4 - 43.2 GHz High Output Power: +13 dBm High Output Voltage: 3.5V pp Low Phase Noise: -98 dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz Offset Typical Applications Low Jitter: 37 fs The HMC-C073 VCO Module is ideal for: Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 350 mA • OC-768 Fiber Optic Systems Operating Temperature: -55°C to + 85°C • Test and Measurement Equipment Ultra-Small Hermetic Module • Lab Instrumentation Field Replaceable 2.4mm Connector • Industrial/Medical Equipment • Millimeterwave Subsystems Functional Diagram General Description The HMC-C073 is a high performance VCO that operates over a 38.4 to 43.2 GHz band. An internal output buffer provides +13 dBm of output power and provides excellent frequency pulling performance. Phase noise is excellent at -98 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and the unit provides exceptionally low jitter of 37 fs (calculated). The Vtune port accepts an analog tuning voltage from +2 to +13V. This robust VCO is housed in a very small hermetic module measuring 0.7” x 0.99” x 0.23”. The module is supplied with a 2.4mm connector, which can be replaced by a GPO connector.
