The MLO81100-01960 is a fundamental single ended oscillator designed for use in cost sensitive wireless and telemetry applications. The device has been optimized by careful selection of the bipolar transistor and varactor diode for low phase noise and high linearity tuning characteristics. The low profile surface mount package used provides for electrical shielding, ease of assembly and repeatable performance. M/A-COM's surface mount manufacturing techniques together with automatic assembly and electrical testing ensure a high degree of electrical and mechanical repeatability at low cost and in high volume. Manufacturing is carried out in an ISO 9000 qualified facility. 1
