HMC897 v00.0112 FILTERS - TUNABLE - CHIP FILTER - TUNABLE, BAND PASS 9 - 19 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC897 is ideal for: Fast Tuning Response * Test & Measurement Equipment Excellent Wideband Rejection * Military RADAR & EW/ECM Single Chip Replacement For Mechanically Tuned Designs * SATCOM & Space * Industrial & Medical Equipment Functional Diagram Small Size: 2.48 x 1.16 x 0.10 mm General Description The HMC897 is a MMIC band pass filter which features a user selectable passband frequency. The 3 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 18%. The 20 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 35%. The center frequency can be varied between 9 and 19 GHz by applying an analog tune voltage between 0 and 14V. This tunable filter can be used as a much smaller alternative to physically large switched filter banks and cavity tuned filters. The HMC897 has excellent microphonics due to the monolithic design, and provides a dynamically adjustable solution in advanced communications applications.
