Analog Devices, Inc., has announced a series of quadband voltage controlled oscillators that offer wideband capabilities without compromising phase noise performance.
When used in today’s RF and microwave environments, the new quadband VCOs offer a wider RF response and more frequency flexibility than narrowband VCOs. They also provide lower phase noise than traditional single-band wideband VCOs, while continuing to provide low current consumption. These features enable faster time to market for the end applications.
