Low Noise VCOs
Descriptions
Low phase noise, a center frequency of 80 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.

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.
- The below is a list of the things that need to be evaluated before building it.
- Determination of whether ROS-102-191 meets the specification in phase noise.
- Identification of where the dominant noise sources are.
- Identification of where the frequency hop comes from.
- Estimate the impact of thermal fluctuation through the push in VCO.
