HMC737LP4 / 737LP4E v01.0209 MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT 14.9 - 15.5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC737LP4(E) is ideal for: Dual Output: Fo = 14.9 - 15.5 GHz Fo/2 = 7.45 - 7.75 GHz Point to Point/Multipoint Radio Pout: +9 dBm Test Equipment & Industrial Controls Phase Noise: -105 dBc/Hz 100 kHz SATCOM No External Resonator Needed Military End-Use 2 24 Lead 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC737LP4(E) is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCO. The HMC737LP4(E) integrate a resonator, negative resistance device, varactor diode and feature half frequency output. The VCOs phase noise performance is excellent over temperature, shock, and process due to the oscillators monolithic structure. Power output is +9 dBm typical from a +4.2V supply voltage. The 8 voltage controlled oscillator is packaged in a leadless QFN 4x4 mm surface mount package, and requires no external matching components.
