SOV-95305216-10-G1

Rev. 1.0

Description:
Model SOV-95305216-10-G1 is a W-Band, Varactor tuned
Gunn oscillator that utilizes a high performance GaAs Gunn
diode and proprietary cavity design to deliver +16 dBm typicalpower. The oscillator features a Varactor tuning range of ±250
MHz and delivers low AM/FM noise and harmonic emissions.
Compared to its counterparts, such as multiplier basedsources, the Gunn oscillator is a lower cost and cleaner source.
The center frequency of the oscillator can be mechanicallytrimmed within ±250 MHz using the self-locking set screw. The performance of the oscillator can befurther enhanced by adding an isolator, Gunn oscillator modulator/regulator and temperature heater.

Note:• All data is presented using a limited sample lot, actual data may vary unit to unit.
• The data given above was tested under case temperature +35 °C.
• 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 +5.5 Volts and Varactor bias voltage should neverexceed +25 Volts.
• The case temperature of the device should never exceed +50 ˚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.
