L-Band Coaxial Resonator Oscillators For SATCOM Applications Introduced

San Diego -- Z-Communications, Inc. announced the introduction of its new series of lead free, RoHS compliant, single frequency coaxial resonator oscillators (CRO1210A-LF, CRO1240A-LF, CRO1270A-LF, CRO1300A-LF, CRO1330A-LF, CRO1360A-LF, CRO1390A-LF and CRO1450A-LF) in L-band (covering the frequency range from 1210 to 1450 MHz), offering low phase noise (typ) performance of –118dBc/Hz @10kHz offset.

These oscillators offer a linear tuning sensitivity of about 3 MHz/V (typ). Each one of the VCOs has a tuning voltage of 0-5 V. They are designed to deliver about 3dBm output power (typ) at 5Vdc supply while drawing less than 30mA (typical) over the operating temperature range of 0º to 50ºC.

These VCOs are suited for applications that require single frequency, linear tuning, and strong phase noise performance. The CRO series VCOs come in Z-Communications' industry-standard MINI package measuring 0.50 in. x 0.50 in. x0.22 in. They are suitable for automated surface-mount assembly and reflow. They are available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements.
