Recently Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) has emerged as a
fascinating candidate to satisfy strong demands in the rapidly growing wireless
communication products, test equipment and system development. Modular
configuration with low phase noise is the desirable feature to be incorporated in
VCOs for their better usage. Here we report development of a low phase noise
small foot print (0.5”x0.5”x0.205”) voltage controlled oscillator operating in a
frequency range of 2.9 to 3.1 GHz for RACON applications. The oscillator is
realised as a surface mount unit. The paper gives details on the performance as
well as the test procedures.
