Description
The RQS-series is ideally suited for cost-sensitive applications. With its small dimensions
and low power consumption, the RQS-series meets the requirements of portable and
wireless applications. A high degree of process-automation ensures consistent
performance at high volume and lowest cost.

Phase Noise Examples
1. Load Impedance is 50 Ohms.
2. Operating temperature range is typically –40°C…+85°C.
3. The package is non-hermetic. Substrate is glass-reinforced laminate, the cover is
folded nickel-silver.
4. Bypass-capacitors (ceramic) from Vcc to Ground are recommended: 1nF||100pF.
5. Customized specifications may deviate from this General Specification.
6. Phase-noise performance depends on the individual specification. Phase Noise is
strongly dependent on (a) frequency (b) supply voltage and (c) tuning range.
7. The phase noise graph (to right) shows the characteristic of two typical RQS-
VCOs at 0dBm output power, ±1% tuning range and 3.3V / 2.8V supply voltage.
