General Description
The HMC-C039 is a low noise Divide-by-5 Static
Divider utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology pack-
aged in a miniature, hermetic module with replacable
SMA connectors. This device operates from 0.5 to
8GHz input frequency from a single +5V DC supply.
The low additive SSB phase noise of -155 dBc/Hz
at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain excellent
system noise performance.
