Performance-optimized microstrip coupled VCOs for 40-GHz and 43-GHz OC-768 optical transmission.

In this paper, we present 40- and 43-GHz voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) for use in SONET/SDH optical transmission systems operating at OC-768 rates. SONET system jitter requirements are explained, as are methods for achieving the requisite performance in manufacturable oscillators. We describ...
