RF PLL Synthesizer

PLQ-SERIES

The PLQ-type is a RF PLL synthesizer designed to meet the requirements for a variety of

applications.Stationary or battery-operated, the unit is available in many different versions

from LowNoise, HighPower, LinearTuning, LowProfile or WideBand. Components are

selected for high-Q and tight tolerances.

Raltron’s PLQ-series is developed and manufactured in its ISO900:2k certified facilities. RF-simulation (CAE), automated test-equip-

ment (Agilent VCO/PLL-Analyzer) and statistical process control (SPC) are integral part of R&D and manufacturing – which ensures

minimal process variances and a high degree of repeatability.

Mechanical Specification

General Specification

Phase Noise

1. Load Impedance is 50 Ohms.

2. Operating temperature range is typically –40°C…+85°C.

3. The package is non-hermetic. Substrate is glass-reinforced laminate,

the cover is folded nickel-silver.

4. Bypass-capacitors (ceramic) from Vcc to Ground are recommended:

1nF||100pF.

5. Customized specifications may deviate from this General

Specification.

6. Phase-noise performance depends on the individual specification.

Phase Noise is strongly dependent on (a) frequency (b) supply

voltage and (c) step size.

7. PLL Ics Available;

AD4113

LMX2526

8. For other requirements contact factory.
