MPO Series

| DESCRIPTION: |
| MC-TECH's MPO series miniature phase-locked source provides a high stability, spectrally pure millimeter wave signal. To ensure high performance, a low noise, high-Q varactor-tuned oscillator is phase-locked to a precision crystal reference. Through the use of state-of-the-art millimeter wave component integration and beam-lead diode technology, the RF portion has been drastically reduced in size over conventional waveguide methods. The sophisticated millimeter wave components of the source, coupled with the advanced electronic design of the loop system, enable high performance to be achieved with miniaturized packaging. A variety of options are possible in the selection of the crystal reference. Crystals are available that offer low noise, superior aging, and improved temperature stability. Cernex will assist in the selection of the appropriate crystal. When an output frequency in excess of approximately 50 GHz is required, an additional stage is used for this series. This stage consists of a doubler or tripler for output frequencies in the 60 to 140 GHz range. In addition, the multiplier stage may have to be followed with an injection-locked Gunn oscillator depending on the power level required at these frequencies. Cernex will provide any additional stages necessary to produce the specified output frequency and power level. |
