L-band Oscillator Features Improved Phase Noise Performance

( 1 Mar 2008 )

Suited to applications that require ultra low phase noise performance and linear tuning, Z Communications Inc.'s latest oscillator, the CLV1596A-LF, operates in the L band (1.5GHz to 1.685GHz) frequency range and features an ultra low phase noise performance of -100dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset. The device covers the bandwidth between 0.5V to 4.5V only and offers typical tuning sensitivity of 42MHz/V. This VCO is designed to operate at 5V DC while drawing 20mA (typ.) over the -20ˇăC to 70ˇăC operating temperature range. The device is lead-free and RoHS-compliant. It is ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow, and is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements.
