HMC-C006
DIVIDE-BY-4 PRESCALER
MODULE, 0.5 - 18 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C006 is a low noise Divide-by-4 Static
Divider utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology
packaged in a miniature, hermetic module with
replacable SMA connectors. This device oper-
ates from 0.5 to 18 GHz input frequency from a
single +5.0V DC supply. The low additive SSB
phase noise of -150 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset
helps the user maintain excellent system noise
performance.
Ultra Low SSB Phase Noise: -150 dBc/Hz
Very Wide Bandwidth
Output Power: -4 dBm
Single DC Supply: +5V
