Covering 7.1 to 7.9 GHz, the VCO’s phase noise performance is excellent over temperature, shock and vibration due to the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is +14 dBm typical from a single supply of +3V @ 85 mA. The voltage controlled oscillator is packaged in a leadless QFN 4 x 4 mm surface mount package.
