The DRO12200A from Z-Comm is a VCO that operates at 12.2 GHz. It delivers 3 dBm of output power into a 50Ω load with a low phase noise of -105 dBc/ Hz @ 10 kHz offset. The VCO has a tuning voltage range from 0 to 12 Vdc with a sensitivity of 0.5 MHz/V. It features a 2nd harmonic suppression of -35 dBc and consumes 23 mA of current while operating from a 5 Vdc supply. The DRO12200A is available as a surface mount module in an SDRO package and is ideal for SATCOM and test equipment applications.
