General Specification
6. Phase-noise performance depends on the individual specification. Phase Noise is
strongly dependent on (a) frequency (b) supply voltage and (c) tuning range.
7. The phase noise graph (to right) shows the characteristic of two typical RQSVCOs at 0dBm output power, ±1% tuning range and 3.3V / 2.8V supply voltage.
L(f) [dBc/Hz]
5. Customized specifications may deviate from this General Specification.
