Oscillators

The AX7MAF1-156.2578T, is an oscillator component designed to produce a stable frequency output with predictable phase shift and amplitude behavior. It is commonly used for frequency and phase control in radio communications, radar applications, aerospace, navigation, medical, automotive and in many other electrical control and testing systems.

The fundamentals of oscillators are based on the fact that signals transferred from any source input can be converted into oscillatory motions. In general, an oscillator consists of an amplifier and an input frequency source that creates a feedback loop. The amplifier’s output is input back into the input loop and this feedback is used to continuously increase the signal amplitude. This repetitive cycling of the signal creates a single oscillation, and its repetition can be adjusted to control the frequency.

The AX7MAF1-156.2578T oscillator is designed to be used in RF and microwave circuitry. This unit features an octave bandwidth and a wide frequency range covering from 50MHz to 200MHz. The AX7MAF1-156.2578T oscillator exhibits excellent phase noise performance with low phase noise floor, with excellent peak-to-valley amplitudes and low harmonic distortion. The unique design of the oscillator provides both tailored linearity and amplitude which makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from frequency synthesis to harmonic filtering.

The working principle of the AX7MAF1-156.2578T oscillator is based on the Josephson effect, which describes the behavior of electrons in certain materials in the presence of a magnetic field. This effect is used to control the magnitude and frequency of the oscillator. By injecting a specific current or voltage into the oscillator, the Josephson effect will cause a magnetic field to be generated, which will modulate the frequency and amplitude of the signal generated by the oscillator.
