    This document summarizes the design and performance of a 1200 MHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) module. The VCO uses 0603 sized passive components and a BBY53-03W hyperabrupt varactor tuned over a 0-3.3V range, producing output frequencies between 947-1350 MHz depending on the resonator inductance. Measurements show it produces 10dBm of power at 1300 MHz with a coupling inductor of 15nH, and has single side band phase noise of -82 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from a 1300 MHz carrier.

    1200 MHz VCO module

    The design relies on initial calculations done with the aid of Salut.

    All passive components are in size 0603.


    BBY53-03W is a hyperabrupt varactor designed for low tuning voltages.

    Some measurements on a module:

    frequency span versus resonator L, (0 - 3.3 V tuning voltage)


    10 nH -> 947-1177 MHz
    6.8 nH -> 1086-1337 MHz
    5.6 nH -> 1104-1350 MHz

    Power output with coupling L=15nH: 10dBm @ 1300 MHz

    single side band phase-noise @ 3.3V supply, 1300 MHz


    10 kHz offset: -82 dBc/Hz
    25 kHz offset: -90 dBc/Hz
    100 kHz offset: -105 dBc/Hz

    The phase-noise could be better, but hopefully it's not too high for the module to
    be used in a synthesizer for narrow band FM at the 23 cm band.
    More about this to come...
