Broad Selection of Ready-to-Ship

Oscillators and Synthesizers

Our lines of voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), reference oscillators, phase locked oscillators, phase locked crystal oscillators,
waveguide gunn oscillators, and frequency synthesizers cover select bands from 10 MHz to 43 GHz. These lines of oscillators
are most commonly deployed in a variety of applications involving phase locked loops, frequency synthesizers, electronic jamming
equipment, and function generators.

Pasternack’s voltage controlled and gunn oscillators are a type of oscillator where the frequency of the output signal can be varied by
adjusting the amplitude of the tuning voltage. Phase locked oscillators generate a stable and accurate output fixed frequency response
that exhibits extremely low phase noise and spurious performance. Our lines of frequency synthesizers generate a variety of output
frequencies as multiples of a single reference frequency. Several of these models offer the flexibility of internal or external references.
The performance characteristics of these signal sources play a critical role in overall system performance.
Our comprehensive and growing portfolio of oscillators and synthesizers include models in surface mount and coaxial packaged
versions available from stock. Some models have added features that include integrated buffer amplifiers, modulated input ports,
hermetic sealing, and USB GUI and serial command control functions. All models cover full operational temperature ranges and
several are MIL-SPEC compliant with environmental test conditions which include shock, vibration, and temperature cycle, for high-
reliability applications.
