HMC896LP4E v00.0511 Typical Applications Features The HMC896LP4E is ideal for: Fast Tuning Response * Test & Measurement Equipment Excellent Wideband Rejection * Military RADAR & EW/ECM Tunable low side/high side rejection "notch" * SATCOM & Space Single Chip Replacement for Mechanically Tuned Designs * Industrial & Medical Equipment Functional Diagram 24 Lead 4x4 mm SMT Package TE General Description LE The HMC896LP4E is a MMIC band pass filter which features a user selectable passband frequency. The 3 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 9%. The 20 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 22%. The center frequency can be varied between 10 and 18 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 HMC896LP4E has excellent microphonics due to the monolithic design, and provides a dynamically adjustable solution in advanced communications applications.
