Description

This VCO, in a SMT package, provides electrical shielding, easy

PCB assembly and repeatable performance. The oscillator is

designed for use in wireless base stations and other applica-

tions.

M/A-COM VCOs are manufactured in an ISO9001 certified facil-

ity, incorporating surface mount assembly and automated elec-

trical testing. This ensures consistent electrical performance

and quality over volume production quantities.

Devices are designed to function after exposure to the shock,

vibration, thermal shock and moisture conditions typically en-

countered in base station and other infrastructure environments.
