VCO: CRO1320A-LF Features Ultra Low Phase Noise for
Satellite Communication Equipment
Z-Communications, Inc. announces a new
RoHS compliant VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) model
CRO1320A-LF
for the SATCOM market. The CRO1320A-LF is designed to cover 1320 MHz with a tuning voltage
range of 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc. This single frequency, high performance VCO has been optimized
to feature extremely low phase noise of -120 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset while operating
off a 5 Vdc supply and typically drawing only 29 mA of current.
The
CRO1320A-LF provides the end user an output power of 3±3 dBm into a 50 Ω load while
operating over the extended commercial temperature range of -40 to 85ºC. This unmatched VCO
suppresses the second harmonic to better than -18 dBc while operating with a tuning sensitivity
of only 3 MHz/V. The CRO1320A-LF is further heightened by its frequency stability versus
pushing and pulling. The VCO pulls less than 0.5 MHz with a 12 dB return loss, any
phase, and pushes less than 0.5 MHz/V within a 5% change of the supply voltage.
The
CRO1320A-LF comes in Z-Comm's industry standard MINI-16-SM package measuring 0.5 in. x 0.5 in.
x 0.22 in. It is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements making it
ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow. For further information on this
model or any other product from Z-Communications, Inc. please contact our Applications department
