Crystek’s CVCO55CXT-6900-6900 coaxial resonator oscillator (CRO)
is a coaxial-based VCO with an internal proprietary frequency doubler. The CVCO55CXT
family’s frequency doubling, 2X fundamental technology reaches new performance
levels of lower phase noise and much lower harmonics over the competition,
while achieving lower current consumption in the process.
The CVCO55CXT-6900-6900 operates at 6,900 MHz with a tuning
voltage range of 0.5 to 4.5 VDC. This coaxial VCO features a typical phase
noise of -100 dBc/Hz @ 10 KHz offset and has good linearity. The CVCO55CXT-6900-6900
CRO exhibits an output power of 2.0 dBm typ. into a 50 ohm load with a supply
of +8.0 VDC and a current consumption of 35 mA (max.).
Engineered and manufactured in the USA, the CVCO55CXT-6900-6900
CRO is packaged in the industry-standard 0.5 x 0.5-in package. Pushing and pulling
are both minimized to 1.5 MHz/V and 0.5 MHz, respectively. Second harmonic
suppression is -30 dBc typical.
