SOL-24307-42-GV

Rev. 1.1

Description:
Model SOL-24307-42-GV is a volume-production ready, KBand Varactor tuned Gunn oscillator that utilizes highperformance GaAs Gunn and Varactor diodes, optimizedin the high Q cavity, to achieve excellent phase noise andpower stability. The oscillator delivers +7 dBm output
power at 24.125 GHz with an electrical tuning bandwidthof ±150 MHz. The center frequency of the oscillator can bemechanically trimmed by using the self-locking set screw
provided. The oscillator takes nominal +5 VDC/250 mA DC power.
