The FPLDRO-R from Polaris is a Phase Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillator (PLDRO) that can generate any frequency in 10 kHz steps from 5 to 13 GHz. It delivers an output power of 17 dBm and has a phase noise of -120 dBc/Hz @100 kHz at 10 GHz. The device requires a DC supply voltage of 12 or 15 V and consumes up to 550 mA of current.
The PLDRO provides excellent frequency stability when it is phase-locked to a clean and stable crystal reference signal. It delivers ideal signal for commercial and military systems requiring ultra-low phase noise, low spurious, and high-frequency stability.
The device is available in a module that measures 2.25 x 2.52 x 1.06 inches with field-replaceable SMA-jack and 2-hole connectors. It is ideal for use in radar systems, VSAT/satellite communication systems, test equipment, microwave transmitters & receivers, cable TV links (CATV), LMDS, missile guidance, and Local Area Networks (LANs).
