HMC893LP5E

Overview

The HMC893LP5E is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) bandpass filter featuring user-selectable passband frequency. The center frequency varies between 4.8 and 9.5 GHz via an analog tune voltage ranging from 0 to 14V. It exhibits a 3 dB bandwidth of approximately 6.5% and a 20 dB bandwidth of approximately 18%. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 10 dB, return loss of 7 dB, and maximum input power for linear operation of 10 dBm. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
