Low Noise VCOs

Descriptions

Low phase noise, a center frequency of 70 MHz, actuation range of several 100 kHz, aaa dBm output


Prototype model


  • Designed by Y. Enomoto (2018), inspired by LIGO low noise VCOs. JGW-D1808968

Noise performance

  • Worse than the specification for the non-divided phase noise (klog 7425) at 1 and 10 kHz. See the table below.

  • Most of the RF components are not secured to the chassis in order to allow for the quick implementation. This may cause undesired acoustic coupling.
  • Measured freq. noise (klog 7425)

    • Frequency [Hz]

Tuning Range

  • Linear range of 0.8 to 2.8 V achieved (klog 6544, klog 6638). This is smaller than the expected range of 0-5 V.

  • Resulting frequency showed some kind of hops, limiting the linear range. No clear explanation exists at the moment.
  • Tuning sensitivity of 0.42 MHz/V is achieved (klog 6544). This is consistent with the specification of ROS-102-919 whose sensitivity is 4.5 MHz/V typ.

Endeavour model


  • Sophisticated version of the prototype model.
