HMC899 v00.0911 FILTERS - TUNABLE - SMT 3 FILTER - TUNABLE, BAND PASS 19 - 38 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC899 is ideal for: Fast Tuning Response • Test & Measurement Equipment Excellent Wideband Rejection • Military RADAR & EW/ECM Single Chip Replacement for Mechanically Tuned Designs • SATCOM & Space • Industrial & Medical Equipment Functional Diagram Small Size: 2.5 x 1.2 x 0.10 mm General Description The HMC899 is a MMIC band pass filter which features a user selectable passband frequency. The 3 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 18%. The 20 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 35%. The center frequency can be varied between 19 and 38 GHz by applying an analog tune voltage between 0 and 14V. This tunable filter can be used as a much smaller alternative to physically large switched filter banks and cavity tuned filters. The HMC899 has excellent microphonics due to the monolithic design, and provides a dynamically adjustable solution in advanced communications applications.
