8 GHz to 8.3 GHz, Dielectric Resonator Oscillator Module

The HMC-C200 is a high performance dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO) module that incorporates Analog Devices, Inc., ultralow phase noise technology and provides −122 dBc/Hz single sideband (SSB) phase noise at a 10 kHz offset. The output buffer also provides 13.5 dBm of power output. Internal temperature compensation allows this DRO to operate over a temperature range of −40°C to +85°C with a frequency drift rate of only 2 ppm/°C. The VT port accepts an analog tuning voltage from 2 V to 12 V and provides an electric tuning range of ±1 MHz from the center frequency.

The DRO is packaged in a small, moisture sealed 1.5 inch × 1.5 inch (36 mm × 36 mm) module with a field replaceable subminiature version A (SMA) connector. The HMC-C200 can be used as a drop in module if the SMA connector is not used. The HMC-C200 is available from 8.0 GHz to 8.3 GHz in 25 MHz frequency steps. .
