VCO Cuts Phase Noise at 3650 MHz

Aug. 11, 2015
A low-noise VCO tunes to 3650 MHz and delivers +7 dBm output power in a compact, surface-mount package.

Model CVCO55CC-3650-3650 is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) designed to operate at 3650 MHz with a control voltage range of +0.5 to +4.5 VDC. It delivers +7 dBm typical output power at that frequency with typical phase noise of -108 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz from the carrier. The VCO, which is suitable for use in digital radios and satellite-communications (satcom) systems, is supplied in an industry-standard 0.5 × 0.5 in. surface-mount package. Current consumption is typically 35 mA at a supply voltage of +8 VDC. Second-harmonic suppression is typically -15 dBc. Pulling and pushing are 1.0 MHz and 0.2 MHz/V, respectively.
