Why
Choose
TriQuint
Frequency
Control
Products?
All
TriQuint
oscillator
products
derive
their
frequency
sources
from
a
long
history
of
innovation
in
technology
for
resonators.
The
resonator
expertise
of
TriQuint
has
been
developed
over
many
years
of
iterations
and
fine
tuning
on
models
to
produce
high-performance
resonators
to
meet
the
stringent
demands
of
many
applications.
The
resonators
that
TriQuint
offers
come
in
two
types
of
designs
that
bring
various
features
for
your
frequency
control
needs
compared
to
traditional
resonator
technology.
• SAW
(Surface
Acoustic
Wave)
resonators
– More
temperature
stable
than
traditional
resonators
– High
end
g-sensitivity
capability
• STW
(Surface
Transverse
Wave)
resonators
– Best
available
g-sensitivity
with
moderate
temperature
shift
– Enables
ultra
low
noise
high-performance
oscillators
(best
in
class)
TriQuint
oscillators
offer
performance
advantages
in
several
areas:
• High
frequency
fundamentals –
When
choosing
a
TriQuint
oscillator,
the
system
designer
has
an
opportunity
to
simplify
system
design
to
minimize
multiplication
circuitry,
associated
gain
and
filtering
stages
typical
in
many
system
architectures.
As
a
result
of
lower
multiplication
factors,
systems
will
benefit
from:
– Improved
noise
floors
– Improved
phase
noise
curves
– Better
power
consumption
– Smaller
size
Resonator
Comparison
– Lower
system
cost
• Superior
noise
floor – The
superior
noise
floor
is
obtained
by
using
TriQuint
high-performance
resonators
that
leverage
the
surface
wave
advantages
over
traditional
oscillator
technology.
Higher
frequency
oscillators
have
better
noise
floors
than
the
traditional
multiplied
up
lower
frequency
oscillators.
This
is
due
to
the
lack
of
phase
noise
degradation
from
multiplication,
lack
of
conversion
loss
that
must
be
made
up
with
more
gain
and
associated
noise
figure,
as
well
a
high
power
handling
that
allows
for
a
better
carrier
to
noise
ratio.
• Exceptional
g-sensitivity
is
inherent
in
the
resonator
technology
used.
• Modular
standard
product
platforms –
TriQuint
has
multiple
product
families
that
have
the
ability
to
scale
to
different
frequencies
with
very
minimal
development
effort.
In
addition,
since
TriQuint’s
standard
loop
oscillators
are
based
on
modular
circuit
functions,
the
standard
products
can
support
various
performance
enhancements
in
the
areas
of
phase
noise,
noise
floor,
g-sensitivity,
output
power
and
signal
type
(ECL
/
sine
wave).
The
result
is
flexibility
to
support
customer
needs
in
a
standard
product
format.

The
Enabling
Technology
of
STW
Oscillators
TriQuint’s
mature
STW
technology
has
allowed
highly
desirable
oscillator
performance
to
become
readily
available.
Key
advantages
of
STW
oscillators
are:
• Higher
frequency
operation
(over
2
GHz
possible)
• Lower
residual
noise
resonators
allow
for
improved
oscillator
phase
noise
• Improved
power
handling
capability
allows
for
improved
noise
floors
and
higher
RF
output
powers
• Exceptional
g-sensitivity
performance
results
in
oscillators
relatively
immune
to
microphonics
Commercial
Sine
Oscillator
TriQuint’s
STW
technology
is
mature,
production
ready
and
is
a
preferred
choice
on
multiple
major
military
programs.
Vibration
Sensitivity
Equation
(1)
provides
a
means
of
determining
the
vibration
sensitivity
of
an
oscillator
by
measuring
the
ratio
of
the
power
in
the
sidebands
to
the
power
in
the
carrier
when
the
oscillator
is
subjected
to
a
sinusoidal
vibration,
(1)
where
fv is
the
vibration
frequency,
f0
is
the
carrier
frequency,
ai is
the
vibration
level
in
g’s,
and
is
the
single
sideband-to-carrier
power
ratio.
For
random
vibration,
Equation
(1)
becomes
(2)
where
G
is
the
acceleration
spectral
density
level
in
g2/Hz.
The
vibrational
environment
of
the
oscillator
is
usually
specified
in
each
of
three
mutually
perpendicular
axes.
Vibration
profiles
typical
of
most
military
environments
are
specified
in
MIL-STD-883
Method
2026.
Table
A
shows
data
measured
in
a
direction
perpendicular
to
the
plane
of
propagation
for
STW
oscillators.
As
can
be
seen,
extremely
low
values
of
g-sensitivity
can
be
achieved
with
a
trade-off
in
production
yield
and
cost.
TriQuint
routinely
manufactures
oscillators
as
low
as
5x10-
1
0/g.
Through
continuing
production
and
development
efforts,
TriQuint
intends
to
further
push
the
state-of-the-art
for
this
important
parameter.

In
order
to
meet
the
variety
of
customer
needs
for
high-performance
frequency
sources,
TriQuint
has
developed
three
families
of
standard
oscillators
as
a
core
product
offering.
The
Military
Product
Family
– TriQuint
continues
to
provide
military
and
space
customers
with
high-performance
SAW
/
STW
oscillators
designed
for
the
rigors
of
harsh
environments.
The
rugged
military
FFO
and
VCO
products
are
classical
chip
and
wire,
epoxy
on
ceramic
designs
based
upon
the
best
practices
of
MIL-PRF-38534.
These
products
are
qualified
for
a
wide
variety
of
aerospace
and
shipbased
systems.
The
Industrial
Product
Family – The
industrial
product
family
is
a
line
of
high-quality
commercial
SAW
oscillators.
It
is
designed
for
system
applications
where
cost
is
as
critical
as
high
fundamental
frequency
generation
and
spectral
purity.
By
retaining
the
schematic
of
our
military
line
and
by
changing
construction
style,
TriQuint
has
achieved
a
design
that
retains
much
of
the
military
line
performance
at
a
lower
cost.
These
units
are
ideal
for
test
equipment,
commercial
aviation
and
limited
military
applications.
The
Commercial
Product
Family – The
commercial
oscillator
family,
shown
in
Figure
1,
is
a
line
of
low-cost,
surface
mountable
SAW
/
STW
oscillators
intended
for
use
in
modern
communications
systems
such
as
LMDS
rooftop
units,
multiband
“software”
radios
and
any
digital
radio
employing
high-level
modulation
schemes.
These
lowcost
units
offer
excellent
spectral
purity
and
good
immunity
to
vibration
effects.
The
voltage-controlled
version
is
ideal
for
phase

applications;
especially
in
wideband
applications
where
low
VCO
noise
floor
offers
a
system
benefit.
A
fixed
frequency
version
is
also
available.
Oscillator
Types
Standard
Voltage
Controlled
Oscillators – TriQuint’s
standard
industrial
voltage
controlled
oscillator
and
its
military
counterpart,
shown
in
Figure
2,
are
available
over
the
300
to
1000
MHz
frequency
range.
Both
VCO
families
are
used
in
applications
requiring
correction
of
frequency
drifts
due
to
set
accuracy,
temperature
stability,
load
pull
and
aging.
Since
the
VCO
is
able
to
be
tuned
to
center
frequency
by
adjusting
the
tune
voltage
within
a
specified
range,
TriQuint
VCOs
are
widely
used
in
PLL
applications.
When
used
in
a
PLL,
the
system
has
the
benefit
of
SAW
phase
noise
performance
at
offsets
greater
than
the
loop
bandwidth
combined
with
the
stability
of
the
low
frequency
quartz
reference.
TriQuint’s
standard
industrial
VCOs
routinely
achieve
-160
dBc/Hz
noise
floors
while
the
military
counterpart
routinely
provides
-170
dBc/Hz.
Standard
Fixed
Frequency
Oscillators – TriQuint
has
successfully
used
the
standard
industrial
FFO
and
its
military
counterpart,
shown
in
Figure
3,
over
two
octaves
of
frequency
range
(300
to
1200
MHz).
TriQuint’s
standard
industrial
oscillators
routinely
provide
-160
dBc/Hz
noise
floors
and
the
military
counterpart
routinely
provides
-170
d
B
c
/
H

.
These
circuits
are
normally
housed
in
a
14-pin
dual
in-line
package
(DIP),
but
can
be
installed
into
a
surface
mount
flatpack
or
a
customerdefined
custom
package.
The
military
platform
may
be
purchased
as
an
unpackaged
hybrid
for
subsequent
module
integration.

How
to
Specify
Oscillators
The
following
is
intended
to
be
a
guide
in
assisting
our
customers
in
specifying
an
oscillator
to
meet
their
requirements.
This
guide
describes
some
major
considerations
and
is
not
intended
to
be
all-inclusive,
nor
does
it
suggest
that
each
parameter
described
be
specified
for
every
application.
As
always,
please
feel
free
to
contact
one
of
TriQuint’s
oscillator
design
engineers
for
assistance.
Center
Frequency
The
most
fundamental
parameter
for
an
oscillator
is
of
course
its
center
frequency.
As
you
review
this
brochure
you
will
find
that
TriQuint’s
standard
units
are
presented
in
product
families
consisting
of
Fixed
Frequency
Oscillators
(FFO)
and
Voltage
Controlled
Oscillators
(VCO).
A
useful
frequency
range
is
defined
for
each
family
for
both
its
FFO
and
its
VCO
unit.
This
range
signifies
that
given
an
appropriate
resonator
within
the
range,
an
oscillator
can
be
designed
and
produced.
Our
customers
have
two
options:
1. Pick
an
existing
frequency
from
the
appropriate
“Partial
Frequency
Listing”
tables.
Note
that
when
an
o
s
c
i
l
l
ator
part
number
is
not
shown
in
a
table,
this
signifies
that
there
is
an
existing
resonator
which
is
appropriate
for
the
family
and
type
under
consideration.
When
a
part
number
is
given
in
a
table,
this
signifies
the
existence
of
an
established
oscillator.
2
. Our
customers
can
specify
a
custom
frequency.
Frequency
Budget
In
the
case
of
specifying
VCOs,
a
frequency
budget
must
be
considered.
SAW
/
STW
resonators
have
bandwidths
ranging
from
several
hundred
parts
per
million
(ppm)
to
as
much
as
1000
ppm.
The
resonator
bandwidth
chosen
must
accommodate
the
oscillator’s
ability
to
tune
back
to
its
c
e
nter
frequency
over
specified
conditions.
Since
there
is
a
tradeoff
in
phase
noise
performance
and
resonator
bandwidth,
an
oscillator
designer
typically
chooses
a
bandwidth
sufficient
to
tune
the
oscillator
over
specified
conditions,
but
not
excessively
wide.
The
following
are
the
components
of
a
typical
frequency
budget,
some
of
which
are
included
in
a
specification:
• Operating
temperature
range –
SAW
/
STW
oscillators
exhibit
a
parabolic
frequency
versus
temperature
characteristic
as
shown
in
the
figure
to
the
right.
STW
devices
have
a
similar
characteristic
but
with
a
steeper
slope
on
the
parabola.
This
is
by
far
the
largest
frequency
budget
component.
• A
g
i
n
g –
SAW
/
STW
oscillators
experience
an
exponential
aging
characteristic
where
the
majority
of
aging
occurs
at
the
start
of
life
and
then
approaches
an
assymptote.
• Voltage
pushing –
This
is
a
frequency
shift
caused
by
supply
voltage
shifts
and
ripple.
Power
supply
characteristics
should
be
included
in
a
specification.
• Load
pulling –
This
is
a
frequency
shift
caused
by
VSWR
interactions
between
the
oscillator
and
its
load.
Load
characteristics
are
included
in
some
specifications
expressed
as
a
VSWR
circle
(magnitude
and
phase).
• Set-on
accuracy –
This
parameter
represents
the
remainder
of
tuning
bandwidth
after
the
above
have
been
considered.
This
number
directly
affects
resonator
yield
but
recall
that
adding
bandwidth
can
some
times
jeopardize
phase
noise.

How
to
Specify
Oscillators
Phase
Noise
/
Jitter
Harmonics
Phase
noise
is
a
measure
of
an
oscillators
spectral
purity
in
an
extremely
short-term
sense.
Low
frequency
and
thermal
noise
in
a
bandwidth
determined
by
the
resonator
is
integrated
and
causes
small
random
carrier
fluctuations.
The
resultant
envelope
of
AM
and
PM
sidebands
is
the
phase
noise
skirt
which
is
specified
in
terms
of
both
an
offset
from
the
carrier
and
a
dBc
level
in
a
1
Hz
bandwidth.
AM
sidebands
are
typically
well
below
PM
sidebands
and
as
a
result,
PM
noise
is
typically
specified.
The
noise
floor
of
the
signal
turns
up
into
the
phase
noise
skirt
at
an
offset
governed
by
resonator
characteristics.
In
digital
systems
an
emphasis
is
placed
upon
the
time
domain
version
of
phase
noise
referred
to
as
jitter.
Jitter
describes
the
fluctuations
from
ideality
of
a
clock
signal
triggering
edge
in
time
(typically
pSecs
RMS).
SAW
/
STW
oscillators
do
generate
harmonics.
Second
and
sometimes
third
harmonics
are
generally
specified
in
terms
of
dBc.
The
majority
of
TriQuint’s
oscillator
generate
frequencies
fundamentally
without
the
need
for
multiplication.
As
a
result,
fundamental
oscillators
have
no
subharmonics.
Typical
phase
noise
curves
for
TriQuint’s
standard
product
families
are
given
in
the
appropriate
sections.
Ultra-low
phase
noise
can
be
obtained
on
custom
high-performance
units.
These
highperformance
units
require
specialized
resonator
and
amplifier
designs.

Dynamic
Phase
Noise
/
Microphonics
For
those
customers
that
need
good
phase
noise
in
challenging
dynamic
environments,
TriQuint
offers
low
g-sensitivity
units
as
previously
discussed.
TriQuint
routinely
assists
customers
in
determining
an
appropriate
specification.
Typically
a
plot
of
the
vibration
spectrum
and
a
dynamic
phase
noise
skirt
description
is
needed
to
accurately
determine
the
g-sensitivity
specification.

Non-Harmonic
Spurious
There
are
no
intrinsic
generators
of
spurious
in
SAW
/
STW
oscillators;
however,
power
supply
ripple
will
induce
cause
spurious.
As
a
result,
it
is
necessary
for
our
customers
to
specify
the
magnitude
as
well
as
the
spectrum
of
supply
ripple.
This
is
particularly
true
for
customers
using
switching
power
supplies.
After
review
of
a
customer’s
specification,
TriQuint
engineers
can
then
advise
them
of
the
level
of
spurious
that
will
be
generated.
In
addition,
TriQuint
can
guide
customers
towards
models
that
have
on-board
regulation
or
can
address
custom
designs.
