High Performance
SAW Oscillators
API Technologies, a leading supplier of standard and
custom SAW Oscillators, combines low phase noise,
excellent frequency stability and rugged construction
in a line-up of cost effective solutions.
Low Phase Noise Performance
Our SAW Oscillators utilize a low jitter planar SAW which translates to
extremely low phase noise performance and exceptionally low accumulated
jitter. These high performance SAW Oscillators, in frequencies from
100 MHz to 20 GHz, contain features found in higher priced designs including:
ü Exceptionally Low Phase Noise to -124 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset
ü Superior Phase Jitter less than 1 psec rms
ü High Stability of less than 10 ppm/year
Low Jitter Sources
Our family of Low Jitter Clock Sources provide less than 3 psec (RMS) jitter
and are available in multiple formats and configurations including:
ü ECL
ü PECL ü 3.3 V LVPECL
100% Testing
All API Technologies SAW Oscillators undergo rigorous electrical
testing at pre-seal and post-seal for critical parameters, both at
room and over temperature, including:

Multiple Features
High performance is the cornerstone of our SAW Oscillator designs. We use a low loss
planar SAW device as the frequency controlling element. Adding multiple complimentary
features including gold for low loss and kovar SAW packages results in a product with
inherent high reliability to meet today’s demanding requirements.

Performance is typical measured at 25°C. Phase Noise is measured at 1 kHz offset.
Phased Locked Voltage
Controlled SAW Oscillators
Designed for high-end commercial and military applications,
these low phase noise Phased Locked designs combine the high
fundamental frequency and low phase noise of a SAW with the
frequency stability of an external reference. The result is a family
of designs that have excellent vibration sensitivity, low phase noise
performance which are available in standard and custom frequencies.

| High Performance |
Exceptional performance coupled with high reliability is what differentiates API SAW Oscillators from
other vendors. Our engineers continue to push the technology envelope in order to provide our customers with standard and custom designs that meet specifications and exceed expectations.
Raising The Bar

oscillator requirements. Using a
number of proprietary methods
including low noise bipolar amplifiers,
-165 dBc/Hz
low noise voltage regulators and low
loss SAW designs, we have raised
the industry's bar for SAW oscillator
performance.
Linear Tuning Ranges
By using a SAW with a conventional phase shifter,
API oscillators achieve a high tuning linearity.

| High Reliability |
API’s SAW oscillators are manufactured for integration into both commercial and military applications.
Our oscillators are available with screening to test methods of MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-202 and MILSTD-810 in strict compliance with our ISO9001:2001 certified facility.
Seam Sealing
API Technologies' inventory of sealing methods
includes seam sealing which maintains environmental
integrity to pass the rigors of MIL-PRF-38534
methods 1014 conditions A & C for both Gross
and Fine leak detection.
Constant Acceleration
API offers constant acceleration in compliance
with MIL-STD-883, Test Method 2001 for our
SAW oscillator products.
Vibration Testing
On-site random and sinusoidal
vibration to 30g, along with shock
testing allow our engineers
to test their designs under
extreme conditions.
100% Testing
Our SAW oscillators undergo rigorous
testing for phase noise, harmonic and
sub-harmonic suppression, output
signal power level and tuning linearity
following any environmental screening.
The units are tested at the operating
temperatures which assures
compliance to specifications under
all environmental conditions.
Temperature Cycling
We cycle our SAW oscillators from
-55 to +100°C in compliance with
MIL-STD-883, Test Method
1010 Cond. A
Stability Bake
All our oscillators receive a 96 hour
stability bake at 100°C to provide
optimal stability. We also can
provide an active burn-in
for the oscillators.
