Sine Wave options are available with a Q-Tech
MCM part number:
• Supply voltage +5Vdc to +18Vdc
• Output power -10dBm to +13dBm into 50Ω
(see note 1)
• Harmonics better than -20dBc (see note 2)
• Sub-harmonics better than -30dBc (see note 3)
• Amplitude stability versus temperature to
within ±1% (see note 4)
• VCXO Sine Output (see details in VCXO data
sheets)
• Phase Noise and Jitter built to specification
including static and vibration.
• Low supply current
• QCI tests
• Tight frequency stability versus temperature,
supply voltage, and load variations
• Low g-sensitivity and low phase noise
• Low spurious (see note 5)
• Low Harmonic Distortion (THD < 5%)
• Low frequency aging, Allan Variance
• High-shock resistant
Notes:
1. The output level is determined by the supply
voltage, load, and package size.
2. A specified harmonic level of -20dBc is easily
achievable. The typical harmonics of Q-Tech Sine
Wave source are better than -25dBc.
3. Sub-harmonic level is determined by frequency
multiplication method, supply voltage, output
power, and input current.
4. Typical amplitude stability over temperature is
±10% or less.
5. Typical spurious level is better than -60dBc over the
spectrum of 100kHz to 1GHz.
