Moreover, it can also be used for pulse modulation in navigation system base station, and for frequency conversion in radar system. Moreover, it is able to be employed for frequency hopping in cellular communication systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 353VB3I24FT oscillator is based on electronic oscillator. An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit capable of generating a periodic oscillating signal. It contains at least one active device, such as a vacuum tube or a transistor, and one or more passive elements, such as capacitors, inductors, and resistors. These active and passive elements are interconnected to create an electronic feedback loop. When the power supply is turned on, the active element converts some of the electrical energy to the alternating current signal, and the passive elements convert the AC signal to higher or lower frequency, depending on the values of the passive elements.

For the 353VB3I24FT, the active device is a voltage-configurable voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and the passive devices are the voltage-controlled capacitors (VCCs) and voltage-controlled inductors (VCIs). The VCO generates a signal at the desired frequency determined by the voltages on the VCCs and VCIs. The generated signal is then filtered and shaped and the frequency is then adjusted by the VCCs and VCIs.

In the 353VB3I24FT, the voltage-controlled oscillator is tailored and optimized for frequency synthesis, radio communication, data transmission and about wireless communication. The frequency range of this oscillator is from 350kHz to 3GHz.

The 353VB3I24FT oscillator features extremely low power consumption, good frequency stability, high linearity and very low phase noise, making it ideal for many communication systems.
