The MW500-1414 VCO tunes from 1700 to 3900 MHz while providing +11 dBm +1.5 dB output. Tuning voltage range is 0 to 18 volts to cover this 2.3:1 bandwidth. This exceptional power output and bandwidth is provided by a compact 0.50" square x 0.15" package, powered by +6V at 35mA. Spectral purity averages 107dBc/Hz @ 100 MHz offsets, with harmonics below "190dBc. In addition, modulation bandwidth (tuning speed) is 12 MHz. This combination of features makes this VCO ideal for a wide range of test and measurement applications that require high-speed frequency agility and precision. Another application is the emerging interest in ultra-wide (UWB) radio systems, which are unique in their pin-point directional localization and security of communication.
