GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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.

While the
HMC-C200
operates over this temperature range, it is not guaranteed
that the specific frequency is in the tuning range at all temperatures. For
additional options, contact a local Analog Devices sales or distribution
representative for information on additional screening to ensure any
required operation over temperature.
Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a
stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond
the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may
affect product reliability.
