The HMC-C083 MicroSynth is a fully integrated broadband synthesizer module that combines high performance SiGe, GaAs pHEMT, and InGaP HBT technologies into one compact hermetic package. The output frequency range is 2 to 6 GHz with an average output power of +17 dBm. In fractional-N mode, the HMC-C083 can realize step sizes as low as 0.6 Hz. The HMC-C083 also features fully integrated low noise regulators and an output buffer amplifier which results in superior pushing and pulling performance. This module has been designed to withstand harsh environments and can be upscreened to higher military standards upon request. For theory of operation and register map refer to the MicroSynth Operating Guide.
