Functional Diagram

The HMC890LP5E is a MMIC band pass  lter which

features a user selectable passband frequency.

The 3 dB  lter bandwidth is approximately 11%. The

20 dB  lter bandwidth is approximately 33%. The

center frequency can be varied between 1 and 2

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 HMC890LP5E has

excellent microphonics due to the monolithic design,

and provides a dynamically adjustable solution in

advanced communications applications.

Evaluation PCB

The circuit board used in the application should use

RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should

have 50 Ohms impedance while the package

ground leads and exposed paddle should be con-

nected directly to the ground plane similar to that

shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be

used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.

The evaluation circuit board shown is available from

Hittite upon request.
