RFVC1829
Low Noise MMIC VCO with Buffer Amplifier
RFMD’s RFVC1829 is a 3V InGaP MMIC VCO with an integrated
buffer amplifier operating over a frequency range of 6.8GHz to 7.4GHz.
Its monolithic tuning structure provides excellent temperature, shock, and
vibration performance while its integrated buffer amplifier provides an
output power of +12dBm from a 3V supply. Phase noise is -103dBc/Hz at
100kHz offset. The RFVC1829 is available in a low cost leadless ceramic
4mm x 4mm surface mount QFN outline.
Package: QFN, 24-pin,
4mm x 4mm
