Series PDRO - Phase Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillators
Honeywell's series of phase locked dielectric resonator oscillators have been designed for use in commercial and military systems where demanding performance, high reliability and cost are critical.
This family of product takes advantage of the small size, low phase noise and high efficiency offered by fundamental GaAs MESFET and BJT DROs when they are phase locked to an external crystal reference in the 1 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range.
The single loop model when phase locked to an external 100 MHz crystal reference provides exceptionally low phase noise, typically -120 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from the carrier at an output frequency of 10 GHz.
In addition, two reference options are available. The first option offers an integrated, high stability internal crystal oscillator in the 100 MHz range in a slim line package.
The second option offers a dual loop design enabling the output frequency to be phase locked to an integer or fractional multiple of the reference frequency used.
Features such as the low phase noise, high power, small size and low cost make Honeywell's PDRO product line the best value on the market today.
