FMVC13001

Overview

The FMVC13001 is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates within a frequency range of 18 MHz to 30 MHz, with a center frequency of 24 MHz. The device utilizes a tuning voltage range of 0 V to 12 V. It delivers an output power of -2 dBm to +1.5 dBm and exhibits a typical phase noise of -120 dBc/Hz. The second harmonic is typically -13 dBc. The component is housed in a hermetic SMD package.

Feature Summary

• Hermetic surface-mount construction for reliable operation
• Voltage-controlled frequency tuning capability
• Low phase noise performance at 24 MHz center frequency

Applications

• Frequency synthesis systems
• Local oscillator stages in receivers
• Signal generation modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturing lot details when sourcing this component. Confirm that the hermetic seal integrity meets your environmental requirements. Ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation consistent with Fairview Microwave standards. Check for any recent product change notices that may affect pinout or electrical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select the FMVC13001 when a low-frequency, hermetically sealed VCO is required for sensitive RF applications. Its narrow frequency range suits fixed-band synthesizers. Consider the small form factor and surface-mount compatibility for compact PCB designs. Evaluate the phase noise specification against system sensitivity requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's VCO portfolio, which includes various oscillators for different frequency bands. The FMVC13001 specifically targets the HF/VHF range with hermetic packaging, distinguishing it from standard commercial-grade oscillators. It complements other RF components like amplifiers and filters in complete transmitter or receiver chains.
