Voltage-controlled SAW oscillator PLO-S NS

electronicPLLfrequency

The PLO-S NS is a part of Rakon’s Phase Locked Oscillator (PLO) series featuring high frequencies. This SAW-based PLO delivers a stable frequency with excellent close-in and noise floor. High frequency stability and low phase noise make the device suitable for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and satellite constellations where stable frequency sources are critical. Output frequencies of the PLO-S NS are available from 500 MHz up to 1.4 GHz with a lifetime of up to 12 years. LEO Broadband, GNSS and Earth Observation are the typical applications targeted by this PLO. This NewSpace Saw-based PLO can be customised by taking an external 10 MHz reference as its input frequency. The ultra-low phase noise discrete Phase Lock Loop (PLL) oscillator delivers stable frequency signals and is a state-of-the-art frequency source generator. This PLO can be customised to have several outputs, a higher output level, or a more stable internal reference. It is a cost-effective solution with short lead times. Specific tests and screening flow data are available according to customer requirements.  Compact package  Supply voltage: 12 V  Guaranteed phase noise @500 MHz -120 dBc/Hz (@1 kHz) -145 dBc/Hz (@10 kHz) -175 dBc/Hz (@1 MHz)  Overall frequency stability: depends on the reference  Output power: 10 dBm
