Voltage controlled crystal oscillators VCXO for PLL networks
Voltage controlled crystal oscillators by Transko including TPV, TSMV, TSVD, and TVL5 series serve as tuning elements within phase locked loop circuits. Linear frequency pullability via control voltage enables precise locking to network data streams and frame rates.
- Wide frequency pulling range controlled through continuous analog tuning voltage
- High linearity across pull curves optimizing phase-locked loop tracking speed
- Extremely low close-in phase noise profile preserving signal modulation integrity
- Compact SMD footprints allowing tight packing on multiport network interface cards
Surface acoustic wave SAW filters and RF duplexer components
Surface acoustic wave devices from Transko provide frequency selectivity and out-of-band rejection for RF communication transceivers. The product family encompasses RF bandpass SAW filters, intermediate frequency IF filters, and antenna duplexer networks.
- RF bandpass SAW filters tailored for high-frequency mobile and wireless channels
- Intermediate frequency IF SAW units delivering steep skirts and high stopband depth
- Integrated SAW duplexers isolating transmission and reception paths in radios
- Low insertion loss figures combined with standard impedance matching networks
Surface mount crystal resonators and spurious mode suppression
Quartz crystal resonators from Transko Electronics series CS12, CS16, and CS2012 are fabricated from synthetic single-crystal quartz with precision AT-cut angular orientation.
The piezoelectric effect induces thickness-shear vibrations across the quartz blank, delivering exceptional quality factor Q and minimal equivalent series resistance.
To suppress anharmonic spurious modes and prevent false oscillator frequency trapping, electrodes are applied via high-vacuum thin-film metallization with optimized mass loading.
Seam-welded metal lids on ceramic bases provide permanent hermetic seals that isolate internal quartz elements from atmospheric humidity during automated reflow soldering.
Spread Spectrum oscillator topologies for electromagnetic compliance
Integrated clock oscillators within Transko TCP22 and TCP32 series resolve stringent electromagnetic compatibility requirements across dense electronic assemblies without requiring metallic shield enclosures.
An onboard frequency synthesizer modulates the master clock frequency by one to three percent using pseudorandom dither around thirty kilohertz.
This modulation profile disperses concentrated spectral energy across a broader bandwidth, lowering fundamental and harmonic radiated peak amplitudes by ten to fifteen decibels. Connected microprocessors, memory controllers, and digital bus transceivers maintain complete operational synchronization.
Temperature compensation mechanisms and phase noise in TCXO units
Temperature compensated oscillators from Transko TX7M, TX97A, and TXT32 series serve radio communication networks and satellite navigation terminals where frequency stability across wide thermal gradients is essential.
An internal compensation network integrating temperature sensors and varactor diodes delivers a correction voltage that cancels natural quartz thermal frequency curvature.
High-reliability TXT32 models engineered to Stratum 3 telecom standards maintain sub-ppm stability while withstanding mechanical vibration. Low-noise circuit topology suppresses semiconductor flicker noise, keeping phase noise density below minus 150 dBc/Hz at ten kilohertz offset.
Oven controlled oscillator architectures and thermal insulation
Oven controlled oscillators in Transko OX-P, OX-A1, OX-B, and OX-C families operate as secondary frequency standards for laboratory test equipment and cellular base stations.
An SC-cut quartz crystal is mounted inside an internal miniature oven assembly with proportional heating transistors and feedback thermistors.
The thermal controller maintains cavity temperature at the zero-temperature-coefficient turnover point around eighty degrees Celsius within thousandths of a degree.
A rugged metal housing enclosing polyurethane thermal barriers limits heat dissipation, securing ultra-low aging and single-digit ppb frequency stability.
Voltage controlled crystal oscillators in phase locked loop architectures
Voltage controlled oscillators from Transko TPV, TSMV, TSVD, and TVL5 lines serve as frequency tuning actuators within phase-locked loop synchronization circuitry.
Integrated hyperabrupt varactor diodes alter resonant tank capacitance in response to analog control voltages, providing pulling ranges from fifty to one hundred fifty ppm.
High pull-curve linearity eliminates phase step discontinuities, maintaining tight tracking loops in optical transport systems and network timing cards. The differential output drivers support LVDS and LVPECL logic levels with sub-nanosecond rise times and low jitter.
Acoustic wave filtering characteristics and impedance matching networks
Surface acoustic wave filters developed by Transko convert input radio signals into Rayleigh waves traveling across piezoelectric lithium tantalate or lithium niobate substrates.
Interdigital transducers shape bandpass filter responses with steep stopband attenuation skirts, rejecting image frequencies and mixer harmonics in transceiver front ends. Low in-band insertion loss preserves receiver sensitivity by minimizing front-end noise figure degradation.
When laying out printed circuit boards, proper impedance matching networks using external inductors and capacitors are recommended to optimize passband flatness and return loss.
