VCO operates at 3,710 to 3,744 MHz

Well suited for digital radio and fixed wireless applications that require low-phase-noise performance, the SMV3727A-LF voltage-controlled oscillator operates at 3,710 to 3,744 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.5 to 3 Vdc. This VCO features a typical phase noise of –83 dBc/Hz at 10-kHz offset and a typical tuning sensitivity of 142 MHz/V.

The VCO is designed to deliver a typical output power of 3 dBm at 2.7-Vdc supply while drawing 10 mA typical over the temperature range of –40° to 85°C. It features a typical second-harmonic suppression of –15 dBc and comes in the company’s standard SUB-L package measuring 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.08 in. It is available in tape-and-reel packaging for production requirements. (Contact company for pricing — available now.)
