The HMC-C200 dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO) features a customizable tuning frequency of 8.0 to 8.3 GHz, with –124-dBc/Hz SSB phase noise at 10-kHz offset — suiting it for a wide range of industrial, medical, military, and test and measurement markets that require enhanced phase noise performance. This device also satisfies the stringent system performance requirements of SDH/SONET communications, digital radio, cable TV link, and satellite communications end-markets, which require very stable reference frequencies with low thermal drift.
The device features an internal voltage regulator that provides a frequency-pushing performance of 5 kHz/V, while the output buffer delivers 14.5 dBm of output power and excellent frequency-pulling performance into a 2.0:1 VSWR (5 kHz peak to peak).Internal temperature compensation allows the DRO to operate over a temperature range of –40° to 85°C with a frequency drift of only 2 ppm/°C.
The Vtune port of the device accepts an analog tuning voltage from 5 to 12 V, and provides a range of ±1 MHz from the center frequency. Operating from a 6 to 15-V single supply, the HMC-C200 is housed in a miniature 1.5 x 1.5-in. connectorized module that is moisture sealed, and features a field-replaceable SMA connector.
