The integrated Phase Detector (PD) and delta-sigma modulator, capable of operating at up to 100 MHz, permit wider loop-bandwidths with excellent spectral performance. The HMC830LP6GE features industry leading phase noise and spurious performance, across all frequencies, that enable it to minimize blocker effects, and improve receiver sensitivity and transmitter spectral purity. The superior noise floor (< -170 dBc/Hz) makes the HMC830LP6GE an ideal source for a variety of applications - such as; LO for RF mixers, a clock source for high-frequency data-converters, or a tunable reference source for ultra-low spurious applications.

Figure 23. HMC830LP6GE in a typical transmit chain Figure 24. HMC830LP6GE in a typical receive chain Figure 25. HMC830LP6GE used as a tunable reference for second HMC830LP6GE PLLs with integrated VCO - SMT 7 Using the HMC830LP6GE with a tunable reference as shown in Figure 25, it is possible to drastically improve spurious emissions performance across all frequencies. Example shown in Figure 21 graph shows that it is possible to have spurious emissions < -100 dBc/Hz across all frequencies. For more information about spurious emissions, how they are related to the reference frequency, and how to tune the reference frequency for optimal spurious performance please see the “Spurious Performance” section of Hittite PLL w/ Integraged VCOs Operating Guide. Note that at very low output frequencies < 100 MHz, harmonics increase due to small internal AC coupling. Applications which are sensitive to harmonics may require external low pass filtering.
