Z-Communications has announced an RoHS-compliant Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO), model ZRO2407A1LF in S-band. The ZRO2407A1LF operates at 2,400-2,415MHz with a tuning-voltage range of 0.5-4.5V DC. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -115dBc/Hz at 10KHz offset and a typical tuning sensitivity of 14MHz/V.
It is designed to deliver a typical output power of 3dBm at 5V DC supply, while drawing 21mA (typical) over a temperature range of -40 to 85C. This VCO features typical second harmonic suppression of -18dBc and comes in Z-Comm's standard MINI-16-SM package, measuring 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.22in.
It is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements. The ZRO2407A1LF is also suitable for automated surface-mount assembly and reflow, as well as fixed-wireless and digital-radio applications that require ultra-low phase-noise performance.
