HMC588 Wideband VCO SMT w/Buffer Amplifier, 8 - 12.5 GHz

The HMC588LC4B is a wideband GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC Voltage Controlled Oscillator which incorporates the resonator, negative resistance device, and varactor diode. Output power and phase noise performance are excellent over temperature due to the oscillator’s monolithic construction. The Vtune port accepts an analog tuning voltage from 0 to +13V. The HMC588LC4B VCO operates from a single +5V supply, consumes only 55 mA of current, and is housed in a RoHS compliant SMT package. This wideband VCO uniquely combines the attributes of ultra small size, low phase noise, low power consumption, and wide tuning range.
