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.
Applications
Point to point and multipoint radios
Test equipment and industrial controls
Very small aperture terminals (VSATs)
