Now available from Link Microtek is a new range of low-cost, plastic-packaged MMIC voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) that feature a high level of integrated functionality.
The device can be specified with either single or twin latching coils, consuming only 150 or 200mW, respectively, during the 10ms switchover time.
Offering a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +70C, the WA optical relay achieves a minimum isolation of 60dB, a maximum insertion loss of 1dB and a minimum return loss of 50dB.
This compact PCB-mounting device measures only 31 x 16 x 9mm and is supplied with either SC/AdPC or MU/AdPC fibre-optic connectors on flying leads.
