YIG Frequency Synthesizer

Integrated Assemblies Products

Now, Low Phase Noise at a Lower Cost

Leveraging a long heritage of engineering innovation in YIG and low phase noise technologies, Teledyne RF & Microwave (RF&M) has developed a brand new line of YIG synthesizers that substantially reduces the high cost of acquiring a high-quality, broadband low phase noise source. After many years of building the industry's lowest phase noise YIG Oscillators, RF&M has applied that expertise to deliver on a longstanding industry aspiration for a 'Win-Win': low phase noise AND low cost in a plug n' play synthesizer solution.

RF&M YIG FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZERS At-A-Glance

Step Size: 1 MHz
Power Output: +10 dBm minimum, +16 dBm maximum
Frequency Range: 6 GHz to 13 GHz
Spurious: -60 dBc max
Harmonics: -20 dBc max
Reference Input: 10 MHz, +5 dBm nominal input power
DC Power Requirements: +12V: 600 mA max (stand alone board less)
Interface: USB, Simple “Set Frequency” Command, SPI available
Environmental: Temperature Range: 10 to 50° C

This modular synthesizer, operating in the 6 GHz to 13 GHz frequency range, simply plugs into a laptop or desktop and acts as a fully functional synthesizer solution. Avoiding the higher costs of the standard industry alternative, voltage-controlled oscillators, this synthesizer can be configured to meet customer specifications in terms of shapes, sizes, interfaces and frequencies. The broader synthesizer line is available in other frequency bands that operate down to 2 GHz for test instrument applications.
