Voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for RF and microwave applications like digital radio offered by Crystek

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Crystek Corp. in Fort Myers, Fla., is introducing the CVCO55CW-0200-0400 voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for RF and microwave applications such as digital radio equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite communications (SATCOM) systems, and base stations.

The CVCO55CW-0200-0400 operates from 200 to 400 MHz with a control voltage range of zero to 5 volts. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -102 decibels relative to the carrier (dBc) per Hertz at 10 kHz offset and has excellent linearity. Output power typically is 4.0 decibel-milliwatts (dBm).

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, the model CVCO55CW-0200-0400 is made for RF and microwave applications in the industry-standard 0.5 by 0.5-inch surface-mount device (SMD) package. Input voltage is 5 volts with a maximum current consumption of 15 milliamps.

Pulling and pushing in digital radio equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite communications (SATCOM) systems, and base stations are minimized to 5.0 MHz peak-to-peak and 6 MHz per volt, respectively. Second harmonic suppression is -10 dBc typical.
