Rakon Releases Small Form Factor OCSOs For Instrumentation, RADAR And Electronic Defense Systems

Rakon has released new Oven Controlled SAW Oscillators in a miniature 25.4 x 22 x 12.7 mm SMD package, currently available in 400MHz, 500MHz, 600MHz, 800MHz, 1GHz and 1.2GHz and all designed to be soldered by reflow.

This product series is designed for ground-based and shipboard RADAR, test equipment, and airborne systems where size and weight are critical.

Among them, the new LNO800E1 is a low noise, low power Oven Controlled, Voltage Controlled, SAW Oscillator (OCVCSO) operating at 800MHz and powered by a low +5V supply. The 800MHz signal is generated from a 400MHz fundamental frequency, followed by a low noise frequency doubler.

Features:

• Excellent phase noise performance (typical values):
  • 137dBc/Hz @ 1kHz offset
  • 160dBc/Hz @ 10kHz offset
  • 167dBc/Hz noise floor
• Broadband jitter < 10fs (frequency offset: 10kHz to 100MHz)

Applications:

• Instrumentation & test equipment
• Ground-based and shipboard RADAR
• Light weight airborne systems (e.g. UAV)
