Pasternack is a leading manufacturer and supplier of RF, microwave and millimeter-wave products. Able to withstand extreme conditions, on earth or in space, several key industries around the world continue to rely on our products, including avionics, military electronics, IFF, SATCOM, ECM, industrial/manufacturing and oil/gas.
For overall system accomplishment, the performance characteristics of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) play an important role. It allows for the frequency of the output signal to be varied by adjusting the amplitude of the input tuning voltage.
Unlike oscillators with a single fixed frequency, our high-performance VCOs have a broad range of frequencies and can exhibit excellent phase noise, tuning linearity and harmonic suppression performance. Voltage controlled oscillators also generate their output signal level, allowing engineers, technicians and designers to adjust the tuning voltage that varies the output signal oscillation frequency. That way, the desired signal level can be attained across a specific frequency band.
Pasternack’s low voltage VCOs cover a broad range of frequencies ranging from 10 MHz to 11 GHz. They also have power ranging from 0 to +12.5 dBm, with exceptional phase noise performance as low as -125 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, internal voltage regulation and reverse DC protection. Thanks to their 50 Ohm hybrid circuits, these RF oscillators also do not require any external matching components.
Our complete range of coaxial packaged VCO models is available in a variety of options, including the easily solderable pin, oxidant resistant true surface-mount technology (SMT) and coaxial packaged designs. Their rugged and compact MIL-STD-202-grade aluminum coaxial package design ensures that they can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -40˚C to +85˚C and harsh environmental conditions including altitude, vibration, humidity and shock.
Our complete line-up of radio frequency VCOs, including bestsellers such as the PE1V11000, PE2V001, PE1V12002, PE1V14004, PE1V13004, and PE1V31008 models, feature 0.5, 0.175 and 0.95-inch commercial and ultra-small commercial surface mount package, hermetically sealed MIL-grade surface mount package or SMA connectorized package. All of them are EAR99 rated and RoHS and REACH compliant too.
Our full range of VCOs are used for applications, including phase-locked loop, function generators, frequency synthesizers, receivers, electronic jamming equipment, local oscillators, wireless communication, SATCOM, optical communication, military electronic systems, transmit modulation, test & measurement, prototype and proof of concept applications.
All our high-reliability voltage-controlled oscillators are housed at our ultramodern ISO 9001:2008 certified facilities. Recognized for our unmatched quality, quick turnaround, great customer service, and technical support, Pasternack RF, microwave and millimeter-wave products are competitively priced, available for same-day shipping worldwide.
