AP725 Series Radiation Tolerant Voltage Controlled SAW Oscillator Available Space-Screened VCSO with Ruggedized Hybrid Construction Features • Low phase Noise: -109 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz • Frequency Range: 350 MHz to 4,000 MHz • Low Vibrations Sensitivity: 2 x10-9 per g • Operating Temperature: -55°C to +100°C • Applications Include: Phase Lock Loops, Local Oscillators, Low Noise Clocks, Clock Recovery for Space, Satellite, and Aerospace Description The AP725 Series is a high performance line of SAW oscillators providing superior communication distances for frequencies of 350 MHz to 4,000 MHz and phase lock loop for heritage applications. The radiation tolerant voltage controlled SAW Oscillators (VCSO) are designed for space, satellite communications and aerospace systems. The VCSOs deliver low phase noise performance (-109dBc/Hz at 1 kHz) and low vibration sensitivity (2 x10-9 per g). API’s space-screened VCSOs are standard products that can be modified to customer requirements for output frequency, frequency range and control voltage sensitivity. API’s VCSOs meet exceptional radiation tolerance at testing levels with radiation exposure to 200 kRad total dosage. The VCSOs are constructed in hermetically sealed metal packages using ruggedized hybrid construction to provide highreliability and outstanding performance over a wide temperature range (-55°C to +100°C). This series includes models which have internal frequency multiplication of 2 or 4 to provide output frequencies in the 700 MHz to 4,000 MHz range.
