San Diego, CA — Z-Communications has announced the CLV1570B-LF RoHS compliant VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) for L-band applications. The VCO operates from 1560 to 1580 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc. The VCO features a typical phase noise of -108 dBc/Hz at offset and a typical tuning sensitivity of 25 MHz/V.
The CLV1570B-LF is designed to operate at 5V DC supply while drawing 24 mA (typical) over the temperature range of -40 to 85C. The VCO features typical 2nd harmonic suppression of -25 dBc and comes in the company's industry standard MINI package with low shield measuring 0.50- x 0.50- x 0.13-inches (1.27- x 1.27- x 0.33-cm). It is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements. The VCO is also ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow.
The device is ideally suitable for microwave radio applications that require superior 2nd harmonic suppression and ultra low phase noise performance.
A data sheet is available.
