The20 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 22%. Thecenter frequency can be varied between 10 and 18GHz by applying an analog tune voltage between 0and 14V. This tunable filter can be used as a muchsmaller alternative to physically large switched filterbanks and cavity tuned filters. The HMC896LP4E hasexcellent microphonics due to the monolithic design,and provides a dynamically adjustable solution inadvanced communications applications.Electrical Specifications, T A= +25 °C, Vfctl = Vnctl Unless Otherwise StatedParameter Min.
