Dual-output VCOs operate up to 8.8 GHz

The EWV0800YF series of VCOs with dual outputs offer total frequency coverage of 7.3 to 8.8 GHz and 3.65 to 4.4 GHz. Based on 2-µm InGaP/GaAs HBT technology, the MMIC oscillators feature on-board divide-by-two prescalers to create a second tuned output range at one-fourth the frequency of the fundamental outputs. For example, model EWV0801YF tunes with a fundamental-frequency range from 7.3 to 8.3 GHz with typically 13 dBm output power and a divided frequency range of 3.65 to 4.15 GHz with typically 8 dBm output power. It achieves a phase noise of 116 dBc/Hz offset 100 kHz from the carrier in either band, with subharmonic levels of typically 42 dBc and second-harmonic levels of typically 10 dBc.

Pushing is typically 10 MHz/V for a tuning voltage of 5 V while pulling into a 2.0:1 VSWR load is typically 5 MHz peak to peak. The higher-frequency model EWV0802YF tunes across a fundamental-frequency range of 7.8 to 8.8 GHz with 13 dBm typical output power and a divided-by-two output-frequency range of 3.90 to 4.4 GHz with 9 dBm typical output power. It matches the performance of the EWV0801YF in terms of pushing, pulling, and frequency drift with temperature. (Call company for pricing — available now.)
