Fairview Microwave Inc., a supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, has launched a new line of phase locked oscillators (PLO) that are accurate and stable frequency sources and a key component for almost any communications, navigation, surveillance or test and measurement system. These PLOs offer accurate and stable output frequencies with low phase noise and spurious performance, making them ideal for use in radar and other exciter or frequency generation applications. Typical applications include phase locked loops, function generators, frequency synthesizers and local oscillator source in receiver and transmitter stages.

There are 20 new phase locked oscillator models with popular fixed output frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 6000 MHz. Designs require an external frequency reference of either 10 MHz or 100 MHz and feature a TTL lock detect output to signal an out-of-lock condition.  Typical performance for these PLOs includes excellent phase noise of -105 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz offset, a buffered output power level of +7 dBm and low second harmonic and spurious suppression levels of -25 dBc and -70 dBc respectively.

These phase locked oscillator models are RoHS compliant. All PLO models operate over the full temperature range of -30°C to +70°C and require a single positive DC voltage supply.  Designs are built to be rugged and withstand stringent MIL-STD-202 environmental test conditions for shock and vibration.

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part One

Solving Maxwell’s Equations for real-life situations, like predicting the RF emissions from a cell tower, requires more mathematical horsepower than any individual mind can muster. These equations don’t give the scientist or engineer just insight, they are literally the answer to everything RF.
