CRBV55CL-1088-1144

Overview

The Crystek Corporation CRBV55CL-1088-1144 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) operating within the 1088 to 1144 MHz frequency range, with a center frequency of 1116 MHz. It utilizes a RedBox package and requires a 5V supply voltage. The tuning voltage spans from 0.3 to 4.7 Vdc, yielding a Kvco of 21 MHz/V. Phase noise at 10 kHz offset is -110 dBc/Hz, while the second harmonic is suppressed by -15 dBc.

Feature Summary

• Operates as a connectorized Voltage Controlled Oscillator in the RedBox series
• Provides phase noise performance of -110 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset
• Features second harmonic suppression of -15 dBc

Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring stable RF generation
