Coaxial Resonator Oscillator Covers 2500 To 2590 MHz

March 27, 2008

Model CRO2545B-LF is a RoHS-compliant coaxial-resonator oscillator (CRO) from Z-Communications designed for low-noise S-band use from 2500 to 2590 MHz. The oscillator provides +5 dBm output power across the tuning range with average tuning sensitivity of 30 MHz/V for tuning voltages of 0.5 to 4.5 V. It exhibits phase noise of -107 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz from the carrier with typical second-harmonic suppression of -20 dBc. The CRO draws 20 mA typical current from a +5-VDC supply. It measures just 0.50 x 0.50 x 0.22 in. in a surface-mount-style package. For more details, visit the Z-Communications web site.
