VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators)

Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is an electronic circuit which produces an output signal whose frequency is basically proportional to the amplitude of the input signal. It can generate a broad range of frequencies, including some frequencies which are not available from other types of oscillators such as the crystal oscillator. With its adjustable frequency range and stability, VCOs are widely used in many different applications from communications systems to electronic music production.

UMZ-T2-1077-O16-G Application Field and Working Principle

The UMZ-T2-1077-O16-G Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is a versatile and cost-efficient building block for any type of frequency synthesizer or signal generator application. It is designed for use in applications where the oscillator frequency needs to be controlled externally by a voltage input, such as in a wideband FM transmitter. The UMZ-T2-1077-O16-G is based on a proven design which has been in use since 1993.

The UMZ-T2-1077-O16-G is a low power, wideband VCO that operates in the frequency range of 100 kHz - 2.5 GHz. It has linear frequency modulation (FM) and small signal frequency tuning slope of 5.5 MHz/Volt. This makes it an ideal building block for any type of frequency synthesizer or signal generator. The VCO also features low phase noise (down to -98dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset) and low harmonic distortion (+30dBc) making it suitable for high-end applications.

The UMZ-T2-1077-O16-G has an integrated voltage regulator and a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This ensures that the oscillator performance is consistent across different environmental conditions. The VCO also has an integrated loop filter that can be adjusted to suit the application. The loop filter helps to create an isolated frequency range that can be tuned to reduce any unwanted fluctuations in the output frequency.

The UMZ-T2-1077-O16-G has a wide range of applications and can be used in many different types of frequency synthesizers and signal generators. These include radio transmitters, microwave radio links, satellite communication systems, navigation and positioning systems, aerospace systems and cellular networks. The VCO is also ideal for both fixed frequency and frequency agile applications. It can be integrated into existing systems or used to create custom frequency synthesizers for specific applications.

In summary, the UMZ-T2-1077-O16-G Voltage Controlled Oscillator is an excellent building block for a wide range of applications, including those demanding high frequency stability, linear frequency modulation and low harmonic distortion. Its integrated voltage regulator and wide operating temperature range make it ideal for both fixed frequency and frequency agile applications.
