Micro Lambda Wireless, Inc., (www.microlambdawireless.com) a global leader in the design and manufacturing of Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) RF and microwave components and benchtop test instruments, has announced increased production of their high-performance benchtop frequency synthesizers. In sync with their evolving catalog of YIG synthesizer components, their custom-tuned benchtop YIG synthesizer line now offers RF and microwave designers working at frequencies up to 20 GHz the chance to upgrade their test benches with the best technology at their specific bands.

 

Offering up to -125 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset phase noise at a carrier frequency of 10 GHz, these frequency synthesizers set the standard for phase noise performance. They are also capable of tuning speeds up to 50 uS over wide bands, and offer output power levels of +15 dBm, with power leveling in frequency bands up to 10 GHz.

 

These synthesizers are LABVIEW compatible and CE certified, and consist of a frequency synthesizer, AC power supply, heat sink with fan, keypad, tuning knob, frequency display and driver circuitry?all housed in a compact, durable bench top box measuring just 4” x 10” x 13”. Units are manually tunable over the specified frequency range by a designer’s choice of the mechanical knob, keypad, or via USB or Ethernet connection.
