HMC398QS16G Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The HMC398QS16G is a single-chip GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) designed for Ku-Band applications. It integrates resonators, negative resistance devices, varactor diodes, and a divide-by-8 prescaler, eliminating the need for external components.

 

This VCO operates within a frequency range of 14.0 to 15.0 GHz, providing a typical RF output power of +7 dBm. It boasts excellent phase noise performance, measuring -105 dBc/Hz at a 100 kHz offset. The device requires a single 5V supply and consumes approximately 325 mA total current.

 

The HMC398QS16G is packaged in a low-cost, surface-mount 16-leaded QSOP package with an exposed base for improved RF and thermal performance. Its monolithic structure ensures excellent phase noise stability over temperature, shock, and process variations.

 

Typical applications include point-to-point radios, point-to-multipoint radios/LMDS, and VSAT systems requiring a low-noise, integrated VCO solution.
