-- Inexpensive Surface Mount DRO12600A in Ku Band
Features Extremely Low Phase Noise

Z-Communications, Inc. announces a new dielectric resonator VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) model DRO12600A for the test and measurement market. The DRO12600A is designed to cover 12600 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0 to 12 Vdc. This unmatched VCO has been optimized to feature extremely low phase noise of -102 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset while operating off a 5 Vdc supply and typically drawing only 23 mA of current.

The low noise DRO12600A is designed to deliver a typical output power of 0±3 dBm into a 50 ohm load while operating over the industrial temperature range of -40 to 85°C. This high performance VCO suppresses the second harmonic to better than -20 dBc and has a typical tuning sensitivity of only 0.5 MHz/V. The low cost DRO8000A also comes incorporated with a mechanical tuning screw allowing for finer frequency control. This remarkable VCO comes in Z-COMM's standard surface mount SDRO package measuring 0.91 in. x 0.91 in. x 0.51 in.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
