Ultra Low Phase Noise Coaxial Resonator Based VCO at VHF Frequencies Provides Excellent Tuning Linearity



Featuring: The Best Low Phase Noise, Excellent Tuning Linearity

SAN DIEGO, March 1, 2006: Z-Communications, Inc. announces the introduction of their new coaxial resonator based VCO for VHF band (380-445 MHz) which features extraordinary low phase noise performance. CRO0412A-LF offers an incomparable phase noise performance of -117dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset away from the carrier. This unique design has excellent tuning linearity with a typical tuning sensitivity of 17MHz/V and covers the entire band between 0.5- 4.5 V. This new model, which is RoHS compliant, has very low pulling (<1 MHz/V) and pushing (<1 MHz) and makes it an ideal choice for applications where signal stability, tuning linearity, and low phase noise are critical.

This particular CRO model comes in Z-Communications' industry standard MINI package measuring 0.50 in. x 0.50 in. x 0.22 in. This amazing VCO is ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow; this is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements. Furthermore, this technology is available for a reasonable price of $29.95 given its unsurpassed quality and unbeatable performance.
