VCO features low phase noise

Suited for high speed analog to digital converters, the CRO1200A-LF VCO is designed to operate at 1,200 MHz within a tuning voltage range of 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc. This VCO features phase noise of -119 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset and a typical tuning sensitivity of 2 MHz/V.

The device provides the end user typical output power of -3.0 dBm into a 50-Ω load while operating off a 5 Vdc supply and drawing 20 mA, typically, over the temperature range of -40° to 85°C. This VCO features typical second harmonic suppression of -25 dBc and comes in a MINI-16-SM package measuring 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.22 in. It is further heightened by pushing less than 0.5 MHz/V, with 5% change of the supply voltage, and pulling less than 0.5 MHz with a 12 dB return loss, any phase.(Contact company for pricing and availability)
