SiGe Silences YIG Oscillator Phase Noise
Cutting phase noise from an oscillator can dramatically improve the performance of a microwave receiver or transmitter. Yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) oscillators are usually the source of choice for designs requiring low phase noise, wide modulation bandwidths, and moderate tuning speed, and many refinements have been achieved in packaging the technology in recent years, but no true advances in lowering the phase noise. That is, until the engineers at Micro Lambda Wireless (Fremont, CA) blended...
