Fixed Frequency Oscillators

Fixed Frequency OscillatorsSpinnaker Microwave offers a series of Fixed Frequency Oscillators which can be used as a DRO replacement or a narrowband frequency source. Their advantages include small size, lower power consumption, better microphonic noise levels, and higher resistance to vibration when compared to typical DRO's. Oscillators having a total frequency error (including aging, pushing, pulling and temperature) of less than +/- 3 MHz have been shipped in quantity. Most of these units are designed to have a tuning range of 1 - 4% to facilitate use in a PLL or Synthesizer. As an example of their performance, an FXD-555 has been locked in a PLO circuit and exhibited a total integrated phase noise level from 100 Hz to 1 MHz of less than 0.15 deg RMS.

All models listed below can be constructed in a connectorized module utilizing an internal heating element (less than 7 W at -40 deg C). This will significantly reduce frequency drift due to temperature variations.

Other frequencies and specifications are available, please with your requirements.

Specifications for all model numbers are available for immediate download in PDF* format.
