HMC1168 12.47 GHz to 13.72 GHz MMIC VCO with Half Frequency Output

The HMC1168 is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) that integrates a resonator, a negative resistance device, and a varactor diode, and features a half frequency output.

Because of the monolithic construction of the oscillator, the output power and phase noise performance are excellent over temperature

The output power is 10 dBm typical from a 5 V supply voltage. The VCO is housed in a RoHS compliant LFCSP and requires no external matching components.
