Fixed frequency synthesizer delivers low phase noise
The high performance synthesizer is designed to generate an output signal at 11.6 GHz while being fixed to an external 100 MHz reference oscillator. The X-Band PLL features phase noise performance of -98 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz and -103 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset.
The SFS11600H-LF is designed to deliver a nominal output power of 0 dBm into a 50Ω load and operates with a VCO voltage supply of 5 Vdc while drawing 85 mA (typical) and a phase locked loop voltage of 3.3 Vdc while drawing 40 mA (typical). This low noise fixed frequency synthesizer features harmonic suppression of -30 dBc and spurious suppression of -65 dBc.
The synthesizer is housed in the company’s standard SFS-L1 package measuring 2.54- x 2.54- x 0.56-cm (1.0- x 1.0- x 0.22-inches. The SFS11600H-LF is also ideal for automated surface mount assembly and is available in tape and reel packaging.
The SFS11600H-LF is an ideal choice for test instrumentation, radar equipment and various other applications, and is guaranteed over the industrial temperature range of -40 to 85°C.
