Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package dimensions against the official Crystek datasheet before procurement. Ensure that the supply voltage requirements align with your system's power delivery capabilities. Confirm the thermal operating range meets your environmental constraints. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and availability of the correct revision level.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a coaxial resonator VCO is required for the 2.2 GHz to 2.26 GHz band. Consider the -111 dBc/Hz phase noise specification for applications demanding high spectral purity. Evaluate the 20 MHz/V tuning sensitivity against your control voltage resolution. The 30 mA current draw and 0.5 V to 4.5 V supply range must fit within your power budget and voltage regulation limits.
