This SLIM is constructed on a common printed wiring board, the PWB-PLO.  Click to get full information on the Basic Phase Locked Oscillator.

SLIM-PLO-2
    Frequency output = 940 MHz to 1075 MHz. PLL is LMX 2326 (obsolete) or ADF 4118. The loop filter is passive (no op amp). Dual RF outputs, +10 dBm at J2 and J3. Phase noise at 1024 MHz is -99 dBc, 5 KHz away from carrier.
    R12 and C27 are optional.  Installed, they present a 50 ohm load to the driver.  Omitted, the PLL is high impedance CMOS logic.
