HMC897
v00.0112
FILTER - TUNABLE, BAND PASS
9 - 19 GHz
Functional Diagram
The HMC897 is a MMIC band pass lter which features
a user selectable passband frequency. The 3 dB lter
bandwidth is approximately 18%. The 20 dB lter
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
lter can be used as a much smaller alternative to
physically large switched lter banks and cavity tuned
lters. The HMC897 has excellent microphonics due
to the monolithic design, and provides a dynamically
adjustable solution in advanced communications
applications.
Typical Applications Features
The HMC897 is ideal for:
• Test & Measurement Equipment
• Military RADAR & EW/ECM
• SATCOM & Space
• Industrial & Medical Equipment
Fast Tuning Response
Excellent Wideband Rejection

Frequency Control Voltage (Vfctl)014 V
Source/Sink Current (Ifctl)±1 mA
Residual Phase Noise [1] (100 kHz Offset) -160 dBc/Hz
Fcenter Drift Rate -1.6 MHz/°C
Tuning Speed, Phase Settling to within 10° [2] < 200 ns
[1] Optimum residual phase noise performance requires the use of a low noise driver circuit.
[2] Tuning speed includes 40 ns tuning voltage ramp from driver.
