Description

The API725 Series is a high performance line of SAW oscillators providing superior communication distances for

frequencies of 350 MHz to 4,000 MHz and phase lock loop for heritage applications. The radiation tolerant voltage

controlled SAW oscillators (VCSO) are designed for space, satellite communications and aerospace systems.

The API725 Series is a high performance line of SAW oscillators providing superior performance at operating

frequencies of 350 MHz to 4,000 MHz. The VCSOs deliver low phase noise performance (-109 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz) and

low vibration sensitivity (2 x 10-9 per g). API’s space-qualified VCSOs are standard products that can be modified to

customer requirements for output frequency, frequency range and control voltage sensitivity.

API’s VCSOs meet exceptional radiation tolerance at testing levels with radiation exposure to 200kRad total dosage.

The VCSOs are constructed in hermetically sealed Kovar packages using ruggedized hybrid construction to provide

high-reliability and outstanding performance over a wide temperature range (-55°C to +100°C). This series includes

models which have internal frequency multiplication of 2 or 4 to provide output frequencies in the 700 MHz to 4,000

MHz range.
