New VCOs give Space RF designers high frequency off-the-shelf ceramic options for challenging high-reliability space applications
MILPITAS, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 12, 2023 — Teledyne e2v HiRel announces the availability of a pair of Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) with low phase noise performance for low earth orbit (LEO) space and other demanding applications. The TDVCO015 & TDVCO027 are built in GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process technology. They integrate resonators, negative resistance devices, and varactor diodes and offer excellent phase noise performance over temperature due to the oscillator’s monolithic structure.
