Overview

Features and Benefits

  • Self contained board, including HMC8362 or HMC8364 low noise quadband VCO, ADG1604 4:1 multiplexer, filtering options, and LT3042 voltage regulator and header connectivity to allow use of Arduino Uno or Linduino microcontroller
  • Externally powered by a single 6 V supply

Product Details

The EV1HMC8362LP6G and EV1HMC8364LP6G allow the evaluation of the performance of the HMC8362 and HMC8364 low noise quadband voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs). A photograph of the evaluation board is shown in Figure 1. The evaluation board contains the HMC8362 or HMC8364 VCO, an LT3042 ultralow noise voltage regulator, a jumper, an ADG1604 4:1 multiplexer, and subminiature Version A (SMA) and 2.92 mm K connectors.

Consult the HMC8362 and HMC8364 data sheets in conjunction with the user guide when working with the evaluation boards.

System Requirements

  • Power supply (6 V)
