ELVA-1 High Power Voltage Controlled Oscillators
See full specification tab below or
Millimeter-wave oscillators of VCOM-XX series originally was designed for purposes of EPR spectroscopy and plasma diagnostics. It provides electromagnetic energy within some range around of central frequency with high output power. Original design uses low frequency stable voltage controlled oscillator and frequency multiplier. To increase output power an IMPATT mm-wave power amplifier can be used. Max value of output power level depends on requested frequency range. It can be 200 mW at
94 GHz, 50 mW at 140 GHz and 10 mW at 170 GHz.
Output power and frequency are controlled by means digital code signal (symbol D at end of p/n: VCOM-…-DD, VCOM-…-DA, VCOM-…-DP models) or with external DC or pulse voltages (VCOM-…-T, VCOM-…-DA, VCOM-…-DP models). Digital control models of VCOM-XX have built in frequency counter what allows providing high long-term stability of output frequency. Also remote control and diagnostics of operation through internet is admissible.
