LFSPXO018538BULK

Oscillators are electronic circuits that produce a steady, periodic output signal—usually a sine wave—whose frequency can be controlled. In telecommunications, they are used to produce tones used in voice and data communications, providing precision frequency sources for devices such as modems. One of the most common oscillators is the LFSPXO018538BULK.

The LFSPXO018538BULK is a low-cost, small-sized Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO). This oscillator is capable of providing a wide frequency range between 0.5 and 0.100GHz. It offers a low phase noise of -167 dBc/Hz @ 100kHz offset, robust temperature performance over -45°C to +85°C and a low typical power consumption of 6.5 – 7.3mA.

In particular, the LFSPXO018538BULK can be used in applications such as radio systems, satellite communications, test and measurement, and networking. Its small size also makes it an ideal choice for small form factor devices used in wireless communications, such as pagers, cell phones, and Bluetooth radios. Furthermore, its ability to produce high-precision waves of varying frequencies is ideal for applications that require precise frequency control.

The LFSPXO018538BULK is composed of an internal Van der Pol oscillator, and an amplifier that provides additional gain. The voltage applied to the VCO determines the frequency of the output signal. The output from the amplifier is then sent to a voltage divider, which provides the feedback loop for the oscillator. The resulting signal is then sent out as an RF signal.

In addition to its small size and wide frequency range, the LFSPXO018538BULK also features a low phase noise, robust temperature performance, and low power consumption. This makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring precision frequency sources.

Overall, the LFSPXO018538BULK is an excellent choice for any applications requiring a precise frequency source. With its wide frequency range, low power consumption, and low phase noise, it is ideal for a range of wireless and satellite communication applications.
