HMC401QS16G

v01.0402 MICROWAVE CORPORATION HMC401QS16G Ku-BAND MMIC VCO with DIVIDE-BY-8, 13.2 - 13.5 GHz Features Pout: -7 dBm Phase Noise: -105 dBc/Hz @100 KHz Typ. No External Resonator Needed Single Supply: 5V @ 290 mA QSOP16G SMT Package Typical Applications Low noise MMIC VCO w/Divide-by-8 for Ku-Band applications such as: • Pt to Pt Radios • Multi-Pt Radios / LMDS • VSAT Functional Diagram General Description The HMC401QS16G is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCO. The HMC401QS16G integrates a resonator, negative resistance device, varactor diode and divide-by-8 prescaler. The VCO’s phase noise performance is excellent over temperature, shock, and process due to the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is -7 dBm typical from a 5V supply voltage. The voltage controlled oscillator is packaged in a low cost, surface mount 16 leaded QSOP package with an exposed base for improved RF and thermal performance. 15 VCOs - SMT Parameter Frequency Range Power Output Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vcc1, Vcc2 = +5V Min.

HMC401QS16G VCO 104436 Eval Board The circuit board used in the final application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and backside ground slug should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request. * Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350 For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 12 Elizabeth Drive, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order Online at www.hittite.com 15 - 63 VCOs - SMT v01.0402 MICROWAVE CORPORATION HMC401QS16G Ku-BAND MMIC VCO with DIVIDE-BY-8, 13.2 - 13.5 GHz Typical Application Circuit 15 VCOs - SMT 15 - 64 For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 12 Elizabeth Drive, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order Online at www.hittite.com v01.0402 MICROWAVE CORPORATION HMC401QS16G Ku-BAND MMIC VCO with DIVIDE-BY-8, 13.2 - 13.5 GHz Notes: 15 VCOs - SMT For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 12 Elizabeth Drive, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order Online at www.hittite.com 15 - 65
