GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC8362 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), quadband, monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) designed to offer wideband capabilities without compromising on phase noise performance. The device integrates four independent, narrow-band VCOs with overlapping frequency bands, operating at a fundamental frequency range of 11.90 GHz to 18.30 GHz. The consistent tuning sensitivity across all frequency bands simplifies the synthesizer loop filter design.

FEATURES
   Set of 4 narrow-band VCOs with consistent sensitivity vs.
      frequency
   RF and tuning ports common to all 4 VCOs
   RF output operates from fundamental oscillators with no
      subharmonic oscillations
   Up to 8 dBm RF output power
   Power mute capability
   No external resonator required
   40-lead, 6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP

APPLICATIONS
   Electronic test and measurement
   Industrial and medical instrumentation
   Point to point and multipoint radios
   Aerospace and defense
   Wireless communication infrastructure
