The HMC830LP6GE also features an integrated Phase Detector (PD) and delta-sigma modulator which are capable of operating at up to 100 MHz to permit wider loop-bandwidths with excellent spectral performance. With its superior performance, the HMC830LP6GE is ideal for wideband multi-carrier, multi-standard cellular base stations as it can be used in up or down conversion, as a low jitter clock LO generator, or as a tunable reference source for a spurious free performance. It is also ideal for high QAM microwave point-to-point links, software defined radios and communications test equipment.
The HMC830LP6GE synthesizer Figure of Merit is -230 / -227 in integer and fractional modes respectively. Double sideband RMS jitter is less than 180 fs and the noise floor is -171 dBc/Hz in fundamental mode at 2 GHz. The worst integer boundary spurious product is around -55 dBc when falling in-band. These specifications make the HMC830LP6GE the ultimate choice for designers looking for a single, superior performance, multi-purpose, multi-application device that can cover a wide frequency range.
The HMC830LP6GE is wideband 50 Ohm matched, includes RF output power control from 0 to 9 dB (3 dB steps) and an output mute function. An Exact Frequency Mode enables output frequencies with small channel step sizes, 0 Hz frequency error and zero spurious related to channel spacing.
The HMC830LP6GE is housed in a 6 x 6 mm plastic leadless surface mount package and provides excellent temperature stability over the -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range.
