SOV-95202210-90-G1

Rev 1.0

Description:
Model SOV-95202210-90-G1 is an X-Band, Varactor tuned Gunn
oscillator that utilizes a high-performance GaAs Gunn diode andproprietary cavity design to deliver +10 dBm typical power. Theoscillator features a Varactor tuning range of ±100 MHz anddelivers low AM/FM noise and harmonic emissions. Compared toits counterparts, such as multiplier based sources, the Gunn
oscillator is a lower cost and cleaner source. The center
frequency of the oscillator can be mechanically trimmed within±50 MHz using the self-locking set screw. The performance ofthe oscillator can be further enhanced by adding an isolator, Gunn oscillator modulator/regulator andtemperature heater.

Note:• All data presented is collected from a sample lot. Actual data may vary unit to unit, slightly.
• All testing was performed under +25 °C case temperature.
• The SAGE Millimeter Gunn oscillator regulator SOR-R3 is highly recommended for over voltage andreverse bias protection. The outline of the model SOR-R3 is shown in below.
• SAGE Millimeter, Inc. reserves the right to change the information presented without notice.
Caution:• Reversing polarity will destroy the device.
• Gunn diode bias voltage should never exceed +10.5 Volts and Varactor bias voltage should neverexceed +13 Volts.
• The case temperature of the device should never exceed +85˚C. Use an additional heatsink or fan ifnecessary.
• Proper torque, 8.0 ± 0.15 inch-pounds (0.92 ± 0.05 Nm), should be applied. SAGE Millimeter torquewrench, model SCH-08008-S1, is highly recommended.
• Any foreign objects in the waveguide will destroy the device.
