About
VIDA YIG
Vida products has patented technology using chip size YIG Oscillator and YIG Oscillators using nanotechnology developed through Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory. VIDA is copyrighted name Value Intrinsic Design + (Axiom or Acumen). The Vida YIG Oscillator offers the smallest, highest performing product available.
We are looking for a strategic partner/acquirer who will leverage the full potential of this patent and drive innovation in a variety of markets including Aerospace/Defense (lowSWaP-C configurations), Radio/telecom, Computer and Test/measurement.
KEY HIGHTLIGHTS
Small SMT footprint with single 5V power input. Size 0.75” diameter x 0.75”
High Frequency/Low Phase noise, Tunable in wide bands from 5 to 20GHz.
VIDA clock does not require multiplication until the desired frequency is greater than 20 GHz. Patented RFIC. And can be phase locked to a precision reference oscillator with no loss in jitter performance or phase noise.
VIDA Products has the only YIG oscillator design that has been produced with RFIC technology. Test wafers produced over 1000 oscillators with near identical performance. The wafers used about half the area for detailed experiments. The design was also replicated by aEuropean University that published the results: ask for more information. Low cost in production,RFIC basis = Consistent output, simplifying high volume thruput.
Feeds A&D markets in Radar, Portable EW, Sensing, due to size, weight, stability, and temperature range of -40 to +85C.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Highly Reliable
Complex solutions designed, engineered and manufactured to the highest level of quality. Designed with comprehensive solutions in mind, our innovative technology has surface mount packaging, low interference, and excellent fidelity, maintaining high power performance in S, C, and X bands. VIDA’s High Q products are capable of serving in communications, instrumentation, defense, medical, as well as other applications. Digital control tunable bandpass filters offer fast switching variable frequencies that optimize frequency hopping and secure communication devices, providing a simple solution to controlling and encrypting signals.
Band-Reject
Improving receiver performance is key to managing the current spectrum. The FCC and NTIA have historically focused on transmitters, but improved receivers are critical to improved signal. VIDA has the highest performing SMT tunable bandpass filters for the S, C, and X bands (2-12 GHz) with octave and multi-octave tunability. With a narrow pass bandwidth (20 to 100 MHz factory set) that is stable across the tuned range; low noise figure (as low as 3 dB) and out of band isolation (-70 dB or better); full -40° to 85°C temperature range...read more
Oscillators
​New radio (NR) in the mmWave spectrum combined with increased satellite-based communications systems demand cost-effective, field-based testing and troubleshooting tools. VIDA Products demonstrated the industry’s smallest and highest performing YIG tuned oscillators for the X, Ku, and K bands (8-20 GHz). With the lowest phase noise and less input power than traditional YTOs, VIDA Products’ oscillators have YIG performance with an RF integrated circuit, enabling a super integrated, high performance oscillator.
