Procurement Notes

Verify the specific output power variant required, as specifications indicate both -4 dBm and +3 dBm options. Confirm that the surface mount package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Ensure the control voltage supply matches the 0 V to 11 V requirement. Check RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface mount VCO is needed for frequencies between 10 GHz and 11 GHz. Consider the -72 dBc/Hz phase noise limit against system sensitivity requirements. Evaluate the 0-11 V control voltage range against available driver circuitry. Compare the physical package size constraints with available board space. Verify thermal management needs for the selected output power level.
