DESCRIPTION

The Synthesizer is a source of high stability spectral pure electrical signals in 0.02–17.85 GHz frequency range.

The Synthesizer output signal is formed as a result of a stabilization of the 2–8.15 GHz JIG-tuned oscillator frequency by the PLL system. The internal quartz crystal oscillator signal is used as a reference one or it is possible to use an external frequency standard signal. The 0.02–2.0 GHz signal is formed by mixing the fixed 6.4 GHz signal with the 4.4–6.38 GHz signal of the JIG-tuned oscillator. The 8.15–17.85 GHz signal is formed by multiplying the JIG-tuned oscillator signal by 2 and 3 times.

The built-in microprocessor provides signal parameter setting, diagnostics of failures and operator errors, storage (during power off) of output power attenuation and response flatness corrections.

APPLICATIONS

The Frequency Synthesizer is used:

– for development, production and maintenance of communication equipment where signal sources with a high frequency stability and low phase noise are required;

– as a signal source in ATE systems thanks to parameter control over IEC 625 bus and

a short setting time of frequency and power;

– for a verification of Frequency Counters, Power Meters, Spectrum Analyzers, Network Parameter Meters and other measurement equipment;

– for investigations of radio electronic devices in laboratories;

– in a communication equipment as local oscillators.
