The model CVCO38CC-3660-3700 VCO is packaged in the super-compact 0.380-in. x 0.380-in. x 0.220-in. SMD package, achieving 42 per cent space savings over the standard 0.5-in x 0.5-in package.
It operates from 3660 MHz to 3700 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.3 Vdc to 4.7 Vdc. (The CVCO38CC family is available in models that operate from 2.2GHz to 4.4GHz in bands.) This features a typical phase noise of -108.69 dBc/Hz @ 10KHz offset and has great linearity.
It exhibits an output power of +4.0 dBm typ. into a 50 ohm load with a supply of +5.0 Vdc and a typical current consumption of 30 mA. Pushing and Pulling are both minimised to 1.0 MHz/V and 2.5 MHz, respectively. Second harmonic suppression is -15 dBc typical.
The model is ideal for use in applications such as digital radio equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite communications systems, and base stations.
