10.38 GHz to 11.30 GHz MMIC VCO with Half Frequency Output

The HMC1164 is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), voltage controlled oscillator 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 power output is 8 dBm typical from a 5 V supply voltage. The voltage controlled oscillator is housed in a RoHS-compliant LFCSP package and requires no external matching components.
