S-band VCO features low phase noise

San Diego, CA — An RoHS compliant VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) from Z-Communications, the model ZRO2300A1LF covers the S-band and operates at 2285 to 2315MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -113 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz offset and a typical tuning sensitivity of 13 MHz/V.

The VCO is designed to deliver a typical output power of 3 dBm at 5 Vdc supply while drawing 18 mA (typical) over the temperature range of -40° to 85° C. This VCO features typical second harmonic suppression of -13 dBc and comes in Z-Comm's standard MINI-16-SM package measuring 1.27- x 1.27- x 0.56-cm (0.5- x 0.5- x 0.22-inches). It is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements. The VCO is also ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow.

Typical applications include digital radio and fixed wireless applications that require ultra low phase noise performance.
