Phase Matrix Announces Wideband, Low-Noise, 3 To 15 GHz VCO Modules

San Jose, CA -- Phase Matrix, Inc., a supplier of microwave instruments, components, and modules, has introduced four new wideband voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) modules which are suited for test and measurement, microwave communications, military, and industrial applications covering 3 to 15 GHz.

The VTO-4500-67T, VTO-7500-40M, VTO-10500-29M and VTO-13500-22M Wideband VCO Modules provide frequency coverage from 3 to 6 GHz, 6 to 9 GHz, 9 to 12 GHz, and 12 to 15 GHz respectively, and feature an integrated buffer amplifier for increased output power and load isolation. These VCO modules offer phase noise performance as low as -95 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz. Output power of standard products is typically 10 dBm. These modules are available in industry standard TO-8 package or a coaxial output package. These fundamental oscillators utilize silicon bipolar transistor technology and silicon hyper-abrupt varactor diodes offering sub-microsecond frequency settling time. DC tuning voltages range from 0 to +20V. Modulation bandwidths are better than 20 MHz. These VCO's are housed in hermetically-sealed modules, which meet stringent military assembly requirements.
