Hittite's Ultra-Compact Tunable Filters Cover 4 to 19 GHz- Ultra-Compact Tunable Filters Cover 4 to 19 GHz Band-Pass MMIC Filters in Compact SMT packages  Chelmsford,
MA, 04/14/2011 – Hittite Microwave Corporation, the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions for
communication & military markets has introduced three new SMT packaged MMIC Band-Pass Tunable Filters which are
ideal for pre-selection in multi-band communication systems, wideband radar, and in test and measurement
equipment. Tunable over a 4.0 GHz to 19.0 GHz frequency range, these three new, ultra-compact, varactor-tuned,
MMIC filters are inherently stable and their small physical size and insensitivity to environmental conditions
provide a superior alternative to competing resonant cavity and MEMS solutions. The
HMC892LP5E,
HMC893LP5E and the
HMC897LP4E are tunable band-pass filters with two independent voltage controls for adjustment of passband
frequency and bandwidth. The
HMC892LP5E filter center frequency is adjustable from 4.0 GHz to 7.7 GHz while the
HMC893LP5E and
HMC897LP4E filter center frequency is adjustable over an octave bandwidth of 4.8 to 9.5 GHz, and 9.0 to 19.0
GHz, respectively. Pass-bandwidth for the
HMC892LP5E and
HMC893LP5E is adjustable to ±3% of filter center frequency. Return loss for the
HMC892LP5E,
HMC893LP5E and the
HMC897LP4E is better than 10 dB across the operating frequency and the wideband rejection is at least 30 dB
out to 40 GHz.The
HMC892LP5E and the
HMC893LP5E are available in compact, RoHS compliant 5 x 5 mm QFN SMT plastic packages and are specified for
operation from -40 °C to +85 °C. The HMC897LP4E is available in a compact, RoHS compliant 4 x 4 mm QFN SMT plastic package. Samples and evaluation PC boards for all SMT packaged products are available from stock and can be ordered via the company's e-commerce site or via direct purchase order.
