We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "VCO", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release Oscillator operates from 1930 to 2110MHz from Crystek Corporation, which we summarised at the time by saying "VCO features a typical phase noise of -110dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset and has excellent linearity". A couple of weeks before, we featured the news release VCO sets the standard for comms from Crystek Corporation: "Voltage-controlled oscillator is ideal for use in applications such as digital radio equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite communications systems and basestations".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Crystek Corporation concerning its CVCO55CC-2778-2945 - take a look at Oscillator performs for communications which says: "VCO is ideal for use in applications such as digital radio equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite communications systems and basestations".
Take a look also at the news release from Nu Horizons Electronics Corp, Transceiver helps reduce peripheral size, as well as Software eases passive component design from Cadence Design Systems, and VCO claims excellent linearity from Crystek Corporation.
