Sources based on switched hybrid SAW oscillators
Abstract
Surface-acoustic-wave oscillators have now been developed offering fundamental frequencies from 30 to 1500 MHz. Integration of the SAW chip into a compatible hybrid package has enabled the realisation of a low-cost, compact and rugged oscillator ideal for incorporation into frequency synthesisers on RF and microwave transceivers. In addition, the potential for fast switching (less than 10 microsec) can be realised with the incorporation of a TTL compatible PIN-diode switch.
