1-16GHz Ultra-Low Phase Noise PDRO Series RFSTRIDRO-U

The RFSTRIDRO-U series is an ultra-low phase noise PDRO (phase-locked dielectric resonator oscillator) family covering fixed outputs from 1-16GHz with ≥+13dBm output power, 100MHz internal OCXO reference, -130dBc/Hz phase noise at 10GHz/1kHz offset, SMA female connectors and single +12V supply.

Product details

Product Overview

The RFSTRIDRO-U series upgrades the traditional PDRO (phase-locked dielectric resonator oscillator) design with advanced technology, improving the overall phase noise across the entire loop bandwidth by more than 10 dB. It delivers a low-phase-noise signal locked to a built-in 100 MHz OCXO, and can be further locked to an external system clock of 10 MHz or 100 MHz. The series offers fixed-frequency outputs from 1 GHz to 16 GHz, operates over –40 °C to +60 °C, and requires only a single +12 V supply.

Key Features

  • Output frequency: 1 – 16 GHz (fixed frequency per model)

  • Output power: ≥ +13 dBm

  • Phase noise at 10 GHz: ≤ –130 dBc/Hz @ 1 kHz

  • Built-in 100 MHz OCXO reference; external 10/100 MHz lock capability

  • Temperature frequency stability: ±5 × 10⁻⁸ (internal OCXO)

  • Harmonics ≤ –20 dBc, spurious ≤ –75 dBc

  • Output VSWR: 1.5 (typ.)

  • Single +12 V supply, SMA female RF connectors

  • Warm-up time: 3–10 minutes
