SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) Oscillators
SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) Oscillators by Phonon are essentially specialty microcircuits that process analog signals in radar, communications, electronic warfare (EW), and other defense and space applications. SAW Oscillators are different from other oscillator types in that they use acoustic waves on a material's surface for signal processing.
SAW Oscillators are comprised of an input transducer that converts an electric signal into acoustic waves and an output transducer that reconverts the waves into electrical signals. In between the input and output transducers, the waves travel through a solid propagation medium. This process gives SAW oscillators great flexibility to achieve a wide range of signal processing functions.
Phonon offers five different models of SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) Oscillators broken down into two different categories; Ovenized Voltage Controlled SAW Oscillators (OVCSO) and standard Voltage Controlled SAW Oscillators (VCSO). Click the links below for individual model datasheets.
