VCO features high performance solution in a compact package

Z-Communications announces a RoHS compliant VCO model SMV1220A-LF in the L-band. The SMV1220A-LF operates from 1170 to 1270MHz within a tuning voltage range of 0.8 to 4.2Vdc. This remarkable VCO features phase noise performance of -100dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset and covers the frequency range with an average sensitivity of 75MHz/V and 1.1:1 linearity.

The SMV1220A-LF is designed to deliver 3±3 dBm of output power into a 50Ω load while operating over the industrial temperature range of -40 to 85°C. This low cost VCO is further enhanced by saving precious energy. It consumes 20mA of current while operating off a 5.0VDC supply.

The SMV1220A-LF features a typical 2nd harmonic suppression of -10dBc and comes in Z-Comm’s industry standard SUB-L package measuring 0.3×0.3×0.08″. It is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements. The SMV1220A-LF is also suitable for automated surface mount assembly and reflow. The SMV1220A-LF is well suited for microwave radio systems that require exceptional phase noise performance and have demanding size constraints.
