General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC391LP4 & HMC391LP4E are GaAs InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs
with integrated resonators, negative resistance
devices, varactor diodes, and buffer ampli ers.
Covering 3.9 to 4.45 GHz, the VCO’s phase noise
performance is excellent over temperature, shock,
vibration and process due to the oscillators monolithic
structure. Power output is 5.0 dBm typical from a
single supply of +3V @ 30 mA. The voltage controlled
oscillator is packaged in a low cost leadless QFN 4 x 4
mm surface mount package.
Pout: +5.0 dBm
Phase Noise: -106 dBc/Hz @100 KHz
No External Resonator Needed
Single Supply: +3V @ 30 mA
24 Lead 4x4mm QFN Package: 9 mm
Typical Applications
Low noise MMIC VCO w/Buffer Ampli er for:
• VSAT & Microwave Radio
• Radio Altimetry
• Test Equipment & Industrial Controls
• Military
