Description
The RQL-type is specifically designed for applications that demand low phase noise and
minimal space consumption. Components are selected for high-Q and tight tolerances, 9
ground-pads ensure solid ground-connection. Raltron’s RQL-series is developed and
manufactured in its ISO9000 certified facility in Miami.
RF-simulation (CAE), automated test-equipment (Agilent VCO/PLL-Analyzer) and statistical process control (SPC) are
integral part of R&D and manufacturing – which ensures minimal process variances and a high degree of repeatability.
