Abstract

Recently, the multimedia and high speed telecommunication systems needs a high frequency and high stability oscillator. The VCXO(voltage controlled -crystal oscillator) have continually downsized to gratify a thin and small size of the telecommunication systems. In his paper, we have developed the small ceramic PECL(positive emitter-coupled logic) VCXO of the 5×7 mm size for gratifying the requested specifications from user, and then use the multilayer ceramic SMD(surface mounted device) package technology. The ceramic SMD PECL VCXO is operating at the 3.3 Voltage and have the frequency range of 120MHz~180MHz. The Q factor is over 5K and it has the low jitter characteristics of 3.5 ps and low phase noise.

통신시스템의 경박단소화와 고부가가치 기술 추세에 따라 전압제어 수정발진기(VCXO)도 소형화와 경향화를 향하고 있다. 기존의 VCXO는 9×14mm의 크기가 주류를 이루었으나 양의 에미터결합논리(PECL)와 적층 세라믹 SMD 패키지기술을 통하여 5×7 mm의 크기로 소형화한 VCXO를 개발한다. 이는 역메사형 HFF 수정설계 기술과 세라믹 SMD 공정선을 접목시키고 생산프로세스를 단축하는 효과도 얻는다.
