Low Noise Quadband Voltage Controlled
Oscillators (VCOs)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EV1HMC8362LP6G and EV1HMC8364LP6G allow the
low
evaluation of the performance of the HMC8362 and HMC8364
low noise quadband voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs). A
photograph of the evaluation board is shown in Figure 1. The
evaluation board contains the
LT3042
ultralow noise voltage regulator, a jumper, an
4:1 multiplexer, and subminiature Version A (SMA) and
2.92 mm K connectors.
Consult the
with this user guide when working with the evaluation boards.
