Description

The PE1V11018 is a High Reliability Low Noise Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) which covers a 1200 MHz to 1800 MHz

frequency band with a voltage tuning range from 0.0V to 20V. This design features exceptional phase noise performance of

-89 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset. Supply Voltage is +15V with a generated output power level of +11.0 dBm and 2nd harmonic

output of -12 dBc typical. The assembly is RoHs compliant and available in a compact 0.5 inch SMT package with an industry

standard mounting footprint. The bottom surface is copper clad with 2-5 micro inches of immersion Gold over 150 - 250 micro

inches of Electro less Nickel which makes it resistant to oxidation for ease of soldering. The VCO operates over a temperature

range of -40°C to +85°C and is designed to meet a variety of MIL-STD-202 test conditions including Humidity, Shock, and

Vibration.
