LO1002 Dual-Band Local Oscillator
The Asartech LO1002 is a two-channel, dual-band local oscillator for frequency converters. LO1 provides a frequency-variable output, and LO2 provides a fixed-frequency output selected within its specified band. Frequency configurations can be customized within the available ranges.
Fast phase-locked loops enable a typical LO1 settling time of 150 ns for frequency hopping. The two outputs use low-noise VCOs locked to a common 100 MHz reference, with LO1 frequency selection through a five-bit TTL interface.
