• Lab Instrumentation

General Description

• Industrial / Medical Equipment

The HMC-C200 is a high performance dielectric
resonator oscillator (DRO) that incorporates Hittite’s
ultra-low phase noise technology and provides
-122 dBc/Hz SSB phase noise at 10 kHz offset.
The output buffer also provides 14.5 dBm of output
power. Internal temperature compensation allows this
DRO to operate over a temperature range of -40°C
to + 85°C with a frequency drift of only 2ppm/°C. The
Vtune port accepts an analog tuning voltage from
+2 to +12V and provides a range of ±1 MHz from the
center frequency. The DRO is packaged in a small,
moisture sealed 1.5” x 1.5” (36 x 36 mm) module with
a field replaceable SMA Connector. The HMC-C200
can be used as a drop-in module if the SMA connector
is not used.
