Voltage Controlled Oscillator 50Ω ZX95-868+ 805 to 868 MHz The Big Deal: • Low Phase Noise • Linear Tuning • Robust design and construction • Rigid unibody construction CASE STYLE: GB956 Product Overview: The ZX95-868+ is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator, designed to operate from 805 to 868 MHz for TV Broadcasting application. The ZX95-868+ built using Mini-Circuits proven unibody construction (size of 1.20" x .75" x .46") which integrates the RF connectors with the case body to shield against unwanted signals and noise. Key Features Feature Advantages Low Phase Noise: -116dBc/Hz typ at 10kHz offset Low phase noise improves system EVM (Error Vector Magnitude). Linear Tuning Sensitivity Ratio: 1.2:1 typ. Optimal for loop filter design. Excellent Pulling, 0.03MHz typ. Improves immunity changes in output load. Robust design and construction Each internal component of the ZX95-868+ is bonded to the substrate, providing better immunity to microphonics and reduced phase hit.
