Phase Locked Oscillators (PLOs)

Planar Monolithics (PMI) offers precision frequency sources that lock to a reference (internal or external) to produce a stable, low-phase-noise RF or microwave signal. Because of that stability, PMI PLOs can be found in almost every high-performance RF system. ROHS Compliant! Applications...

Defense & Electronic Warfare...

  • Radar transmitters & receivers  Stable LO sources for up/downconversion, chirp generation, and coherent processing.
  • Electronic warfare (EW)  Jammers, threat simulators, and receivers rely on ultra-low phase noise and fast lock.
  • Missile seekers & guidance systems  Compact, rugged, temperature-stable oscillators.
  • IFF and secure comms  Precise frequency references for modulation and coding.

Satellite & Space Systems...

  • SATCOM transceivers  LO sources for up/downconversion in Ku/Ka-band.
  • Telemetry, tracking & control (TT&C)  Stable references for command links.
  • Spaceborne radar (SAR)  Coherent imaging requires extremely low phase noise.

LD2 – PLDRO Lock Alarm = High (1) = Locked / Low (0) = Not locked

LD1 – OCXO Lock Alarm = High (1) = Locked / Low (0) = Not locked

When using an external or internal reference both LD1 and LD2 should be high (1) = Good to go and all systems engaged.

If one of them is low, then something is out of lock and not a valid test.

LV = This is the tuning voltage for the varactor diode which feeds into a comparator to determine the in-lock condition of the PLDRO. Quantic PMI uses this to set the alarm threshold and can be left open by the user.
