This feature along with our superior output power flatness performance is critical for requirements in radar receivers or for rapid generation of jamming signals in ECM transmitters. When high frequency stability is required for radar, munications synthesizers or frequency converters, these VCOs may be integrated into phase lock loop circuitry. Low phase noise performance of the VCO, with our highly linear tuning, simplifies loop filter design and enables the designer to achieve superior synthesizer performance. These VCOs can be qualified for high reliability and military requirements. The acpanying table is an example of our standard VCO designs. A wide range of custom designs are also available with output frequencies to 6 GHz. Please contact the factory to discuss your requirements. All dimensions are in mm. +/- 0.1 Standard finish : Gold Plate. Description These designs utilize silicon bipolar devices as the negative resistance generator. The frequency of operation is determined by a varactor diode that serves as a voltage variable capacitor. Silicon hyperabrupt varactors offer the lowest phase noise performance. Careful selection of the varactor diodes manufactured in-house provide linear monotonic tuning characteristics requiring only simple external driver circuits. This range of VCOs is constructed using discrete chip device integrated onto a conventional alumina substrate or on a Glass Microwave Integrated Circuit (GMICTM). This is packaged into standard outline TO-8 SMT packages. These packages are hermetically sealed using resistance weld techniques. This pact...
