Microwave
Synthesizers

From 50 MHz to 32 GHz
Extremely Low Phase Noise

These microwave synthesizers generate frequencies from 50 MHz to 32 GHz with astonishingly low phase noise. They are ideal as replacements for expensive RF instruments in test systems for use as system clocks, local oscillators for reciever systems and for extending the frequency range of other instruments for 5G applications. Switching speed is as fast as 50 microseconds and the frequency resolution can be as low as 0.001 Hz.
