Crystek announces new series of voltage controlled oscillators

Crystek's new voltage controlled oscillator series is designed to operate from 2700 to 3400MHz and is said to provide high performance frequency control in harsh, demanding environments.

The CVCOT8BE series features a typical phase noise of -85 Bc/Hz at 10KHz offset and strong linearity. Tuning sensitivity is rated at 120MHz/V. Pulling and Pushing are said to be 25 and 10.0MHz/V, respectively, while second harmonic suppression is -12dBc typical.

The range features a full functioning voltage controlled oscillator in a rugged, hermetically sealed TO-8 package to protect from moisture, contaminants and other elements. The metal can construction features gold plated pins with no internal wire bonds for enhanced signal integrity.

The CVCOT8BE-2700-3400 VCO features a tuning voltage range of 1 to 10V, with an input voltage of 11V. Maximum current consumption is 60mA and output power is 10dBm. The devices have an operating temperature range of between -40 and 85°C.
