Transistor Specification Selection Guide
Output Power
as an Oscillator
|
- What:
- The amount of output power produced by the oscillator. In most cases, this power level is relatively non-critical, as it can readily be increased by adding a buffer amplifier. In many cases, a buffer amplifier will be required regardless of output power to improve oscillator pulling properties.
- The oscillator P out of a transistor is approximately equal to the P 1dB available in amplifier use. For higher P out designs, use larger devices and bias at higher levels within the limit set by the transistor breakdown voltages.
- Direction:
- typically P out is between -10 and +10 dBm
- Range:
- -10 to +20 dBm
