January 28, 2013 Press Release

Z-Comm SMV2950A-LF case - RF Cafe

Z-Communications, Inc. announces a new RoHS compliant VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) model in the S-band. The SMV2950A-LF operates at 2850 to 3050 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0 to 2.5 Vdc. This compact VCO features phase noise of -85 dBc/Hz @10 kHz offset while operating off a 3.0 Vdc supply and typically drawing 15 mA of current. The SMV2950A-LF provides the end user typical output power of 3±3 dBm into a 50 Ω load while operating over the industrial temperature range of -40 to 85 ºC. This robust VCO suppresses the second harmonic to better than -15 dBc and covers the frequency range with a tuning linearity of better than 1.1:1. The SMV2950A-LF comes in Z-Comm's standard SUB-L package measuring a mere 0.3 in. x 0.3 in. x 0.08 in. It is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements making it ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow. The SMV2950A-LF is well suited for mobile radio and test instrumentation applications that require minimal power consumption as well as low phase noise.

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...
