Surface Acoustic Wave Oscillators


SAW oscillators deploy Inter-Digital Transducers (IDTs) to convert electrical signals (MHz range) to mechanical acoustic waves (μm range) and back to electrical signals again. This conversion makes use of piezoelectric properties to generate and detect acoustic waves. These acoustic wavelengths are 100,000 times shorter than electromagnetic signals of the same frequency. SAW technology enables us to provide high-frequency oscillators in a small packages that are robust in harsh environments and can tolerate shock and vibration.

Ultra-High-Frequency and High-Shock-Tolerance Products


VS-504 VCSO

VS-504

Dual Frequency

The VS-504 dual-frequency Voltage-Controlled Saw Oscillator (VCSO) is an ultra-low-phase-noise oscillator designed to support high-speed data converters and 100G coherent optical receivers. It is available in frequencies ranging from 1 GHz to 2.5 GHz with two switchable frequency options.

PS-702 VCSO

PS-702

Low Jitter

The PS-702 achieves low phase noise and very-low jitter performance. It is housed in an industry-standard six-pad, leadless, hermetically sealed ceramic package.

VS-800 VCSO

VS-800

Ultra-Low Phase Noise

The VS-800 operates at the fundamental frequency of the internal SAW resonator. An internal multiplier circuit is deployed for output frequencies above 1.6 GHz.

VS-504 VCSO

PS-508

Harsh Environment

The PS-508 is a high-frequency, ultra-low-phase-noise and low-g-sensitivity oscillator designed to support harsh environmental applications.

101765 VCSO

Ultra-Low Phase Noise

The 101765 series of VCSOs provides ultra-low phase noise across an operating frequency range of 320 to 2,500 MHz. These oscillators are housed in a hermetic package measuring 1" × 1" × 0.2". Options for military screening and characterized vibration sensitivity are available.
