VCO Features Low Phase Noise

Z-Communications has announced a new RoHS compliant VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) model ZRO1820A1LF in L-band. The ZRO1820A1LF operates at 1818-1822 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.5-4.5 Vdc. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -119 dBc/Hz @ 10 KHz offset and a typical tuning sensitivity of 5 MHz/V.

The ZRO1820A1LFis designed to deliver a typical output power of 4.5 dBm at 5 Vdc supply while drawing 20 mA (typical) over the temperature range of -40º to 85º C. This VCO features typical second harmonic suppression of -25 dBc and comes in Z-Comm’s 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. The ZRO1820A1LF is also ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow.

ZRO1820A1LF is well suited for mobile radio and fixed wireless applications that require ultra low phase noise performance.
