PE1V14001

Overview

The PE1V14001 is a commercial surface mount voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 950 MHz to 1.1 GHz, featuring a center frequency of 1.025 GHz. The device utilizes a tuning voltage range of 0 V to 4.5 V and delivers an output power of ±1 dBm. It exhibits a phase noise performance of -104 dBc/Hz and a typical second harmonic level of -18 dBc. The component is housed in a 0.5-inch package designed for high reliability applications.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction for compact integration
• Low noise voltage control operation
• High reliability design architecture

Applications

• Wireless communications systems
• Local oscillator modules
• Frequency synthesizer circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as commercial variants may differ from hermetically sealed military specifications found in other Pasternack models. Confirm that the 0.5-inch SMT footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure the 0 V to 4.5 V tuning range aligns with your system's control voltage capabilities before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a 950 MHz to 1.1 GHz tuning range with low phase noise characteristics. The commercial surface mount package suits automated assembly processes. Consider the ±1 dBm output power level for direct interface needs. Verify environmental operating conditions against standard commercial limits rather than ruggedized MIL-STD requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack’s voltage controlled oscillator series, which includes various frequency bands and packaging options. While similar models like the PE1V13001 offer hermetic sealing for harsh environments, the PE1V14001 is designated as a commercial grade device. It shares the 0.5-inch form factor but differs in frequency coverage and environmental ratings compared to other family members.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Evaluate alternative VCOs based on matching frequency ranges, phase noise specifications, and package dimensions if replacement is necessary.
