Crystek CVCO55CXT-6000-6075 coaxial resonator oscillator

Crystek’s CVCO55CXT-6000-6075 coaxial resonator oscillator (CRO) is a coaxial-based VCO with an internal proprietary frequency doubler. The CVCO55CXT family’s frequency-doubling technology is said to enable lower phase noise, lower harmonics and lower current consumption.

The product operates from 6000 to 6075 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.5 to 4.5 VDC. The coaxial VCO features a typical phase noise of -100 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset and has good linearity. The CRO exhibits an output power of 5 dBm typ into a 50 Ω load with a supply of 8 VDC and a current consumption of 25 mA (max).

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, the CRO is packaged in 0.5 x 0.5″ package. Pushing and pulling are both minimised to 1.5 MHz/V and 0.5 MHz, respectively. Second harmonic suppression is -30 dBc typical.

The product is suitable for use in applications such as digital radio equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite communications systems and base stations.
