FMVC11024

Overview

The FMVC11024 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 3 GHz to 3.5 GHz, with a center frequency of 3.25 GHz. The component requires a supply voltage of 11 V and utilizes a commercial Surface Mount Technology (SMT) package with dimensions of 0.5 inches. This device is designed for high-frequency signal generation applications in microwave systems.

Feature Summary

• Voltage-controlled oscillation capability within the specified microwave band
• Commercial surface mount technology construction for automated assembly
• Defined center frequency operation at 3.25 GHz

Applications

• Microwave signal generation circuits
• Frequency synthesis modules
• Communication system local oscillators

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as the part is listed as obsolete. Confirm compatibility with existing design specifications regarding the 11 V supply requirement and SMT footprint before procurement planning. Check for authorized distributors or alternative sources if direct manufacturing support has ceased.

Selection Notes

Select this component only if the application strictly requires the 3-3.5 GHz range and 11 V operating voltage. Ensure the PCB layout supports the 0.5-inch commercial SMT form factor. Consider that obsolescence may impact long-term supply chain stability for production runs.

Part Context

Fairview Microwave provides RF, microwave, and mmWave components. The FMVC11024 represents their historical offering in voltage-controlled oscillators. As an obsolete part, it reflects earlier generations of surface-mount microwave circuit designs from the manufacturer's portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status, engineering teams should evaluate equivalent VCOs from other manufacturers that match the 3-3.5 GHz range and 11 V supply requirements.
