RFVC1836
10.4GHz to 11.62GHz MMIC VCO with
Fo/2 and Fo/4 Outputs
RFMD's RFVC1836 is a 5V InGaP MMIC VCO with an integrated frequency divider
providing additional Fo/2 and Fo/4 outputs. With an Fo frequency range of 10.4GHz
to 11.62GHz its monolithic structure provides excellent temperature, shock, and
vibration performance. Output power (Fo) is +8dBm and is flat across the tuning
voltage range of 1.5V to 14.5V. Phase noise is typically -113dBc/Hz at 100kHz
offset. The device operates from a low supply current of 280mA which can be
further reduced to 220mA by disabling the divider functions if not required. The
RFVC1836 is available in a low cost 5mm x 5mm surface mount plastic overmolded
QFN outline.
