Description

The PE2V015 is a High Reliability Low Noise Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) which covers a 6.1 GHz to 7.0 GHz frequency

band with a voltage tuning range from 0V to 10V. This design features exceptional phase noise performance of -76 dBc/Hz

@ 10 kHz offset. Supply Voltage is +5V with a generated output power level of +8.0 dBm and 2nd harmonic output of -10

dBc typical. The assembly is RoHS compliant and available in a compact 0.175 inch SMT package with an industry standard

mounting footprint. The bottom surface is copper clad with 2-5 micro inches of immersion Gold over 150 - 250 micro inches

of Electro less Nickel which makes it resistant to oxidation for ease of soldering. The VCO operates over a temperature range

of -40°C to +85°C and is designed to meet a variety of MIL-STD-202 test conditions including Humidity, Shock, and Vibration.
