Functional Diagram General Description

The HMC361G8 is a low noise N = 2 static divider in
an 8 lead glass/metal surface mount (hermetic) pack-
age. This device operates from 10 MHz (with a square
wave input) to 13 GHz input frequency with a single
+5V DC supply. The low additive SSB phase noise of
-148 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain
good system noise performance.
