Crystek Corporation Introduces World’s Smallest High-Performance Coaxial Resonator Oscillator (CRO) In Compact .38x.38-In Package

Fort Myers, FL – Crystek Corporation has expanded its line of ultra-low phase noise Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) with a new coaxial resonator oscillator. 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% space savings over the standard 0.5-in x 0.5-in package.

The CVCO38CC-3660-3700 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 coaxial VCO features a typical phase noise of -108.69 dBc/Hz @ 10KHz offset and has excellent 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 minimized to 1.0 MHz/V and 2.5 MHz, respectively. Second harmonic suppression is -15 dBc typical.

The CVCO38CC-3660-3700 is ideal for use in applications such as digital radio equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite communications systems, and base stations.

Pricing for the CVCO38CC-3660-3700 will start at $15 ea. in volume. For additional pricing details, contact Crystek Corporation.
