L-band VCO

28 November 2012 Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI

Z-Communications has introduced a new RoHS compliant VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) for use in the L-band. The USSP1217-LF operates at 1210 to 1230 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0,5 to 3,0 V d.c.

The device features phase noise of -102 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset while operating off a 3,3 V d.c. supply and typically drawing only 13 mA of current. It provides the end user with an output power of 3 ±3 dBm into a 50 Ω load while operating over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

The VCO suppresses the second harmonic to better than -13 dBc and covers the frequency range with a tuning linearity of better than 1,1:1. It comes in Z-Comm’s standard USSP package measuring 5 x 5 x 1,5 mm.

The device is available in tape-and-reel packaging for production requirements, making it ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow. It is well suited for mobile radio and satellite communication applications that require minimal power consumption as well as low phase noise.
