VCO from Z-Communications Features Low Phase Noise
Z-Communications has announced a new RoHS compliant VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) model ZRO2405A1LF in S-band. The ZRO2405A1LF operates at 2400-2410 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.5-4.5 Vdc. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -116 dBc/Hz @ 10 KHz offset and a typical tuning sensitivity of 8 MHz/V.
The ZRO2405A1LF is designed to deliver a typical output power of 3 dBm at 5 Vdc supply while drawing 23 mA (typical) over the temperature range of -40º to 85º C. This VCO features typical second harmonic suppression of -12 dBc and comes in Z-Comm's standard MINI-16-SM package measuring 0.5 in. x 0.5 in. x 0.22 in. It is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements. The ZRO2405A1LF is also ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow.
