CRO Based VCO Modules
Z-Communications' Coaxial Resonator Based Oscillators (CRO) are now available from 400 MHz to 8 GHz with the best phase noise performance designed to meet the requirements of carrier generators in high data rate applications. They are available from very narrow to moderate bandwidths (15%) and they offer incomparable performance over an extended operating temperature range (-40 to 85°C). They exhibit excellent tuning linearity and superior harmonic suppression, making them the ideal choice for demanding system requirements.



CLV Series VCO Modules - Ultra Low Noise
The CLV series voltage controlled oscillators (VCO) are uniquely based on a patented high-Q distributed resonator design offering low phase noise and linear tuning over a wide range of frequency bands (500 MHz to 6.8 GHz). The major advantages of the CLV series are higher immunity to microphonic effects and reduced phase hits over an extended operating temperature range (-40 to 85°C). This product line is ideally suited for complex modulation applications. The lower voltage operation capability, under reduced output power, make them perfect for handsets with extended battery life. Also the low profile shields make them suitable for applications with space constraints.



SLV Series VCO Modules
SLV Series are a new class of Voltage Controlled Oscillators that provide exceptionally low phase noise performance with a higher degree of immunity to microphonic effects and reduced phase hits due to their unique design. They are ideally suited for narrow band applications. They are now available from 900 MHz onwards. The additional features include very low load pulling and pushing, excellent tuning linearity, harmonic suppression and frequency stability over an extended temperature range (-40 to 85°C). If performance is the top criteria, SLVs are the best choice.



V Series Mini VCO Modules- Low Cost
Z-Communications' MINI package V Series VCO modules have become the industry standard. Being our largest VCO product line, the V Series VCO's range from 40 MHz to over 6 GHz, with bandwidths spanning over an octave and phase noise unmatched by anyone in the industry. They are ideally suited for cost sensitive applications.



SMV Series VCO Modules
The SMV Series VCO modules are a natural evolution from the MINI package. Residing in the 0.3" x 0.3" Sub-L package, the SMV series of VCO modules do not sacrifice performance for size. Our extensive product line utilizes 0201 case sized components to make the most out of a small area. This small size in-turn reduces the space required on your PCB. If space is of paramount concern, then the SMV package is the best solution for your wireless application.
