In RF and microwave communications systems where signal integrity is of prime importance, Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synthesizers offer high levels of frequency stability and accuracy with exceptional phase noise characteristics that allows components in the signal chain to perform at their optimum levels.
These synthesizers can be useful in applications involving signal generators, benchtop test and measurement, electronic warfare, and microwave radios.
Specifications:
- cover a broad range of frequency bands from 25 MHz to 27 GHz
- support a USB 2.0 interface with a PC computer that supplies dc power and GUI command control
- high output power levels range from +10 to +19 dBm
- typical output attenuation is adjustable up to 50 dB in 1-dB steps
- phase locked speed is 1 msec typical
- phase noise is as low as -108 dBc/Hz at 100 MHz offset
