HMC931LP4E v02.0311 Typical Applications Features The HMC931LP4E is ideal for: Wide Bandwidth: 8 - 12 GHz • EW Receivers 410° Phase Shift • Military Radar Low Insertion Loss: 3.5 dB • Test Equipment Low Phase Error: +12 / -7 deg Typ. • Satellite Communications Single Positive Voltage Control 24 Lead 4x4 mm QFN Package: 16 mm² • Beam Forming Modules Functional Diagram General Description The HMC931LP4E is an Analog Phase Shifter which is controlled via an analog control voltage from 0 to +13V. The HMC931LP4E provides a continuously variable phase shift of 0 to 410 degrees from 8 to 12 GHz, with extremely consistent low insertion loss versus phase shift and frequency. The high accuracy HMC931LP4E is monotonic with respect to control voltage and features a typical low phase error of +12 / -7 degrees over a wide bandwidth. The HMC931LP4E is housed in an RoHS compliant 4x4 mm QFN leadless package. 13 Phase Shifters - ANALOG - SMT 410° Analog Phase Shifter, 8 - 12 GHz Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, 50 Ohm System Parameter Frequency Range Min.
