Ultra Low Phase Noise USB Controlled RF Synthesizer 0.039-22GHz

RSYN01G20GA is a wide range tunable RF synthesizer. It
uses advanced VCO and DDS based phase locktechnology to provide T&M level of phase noise. The unit
uses an internal temperature compensated crystaloscillator as the referenced signal to the PLL. The unit
can also be locked to an external 10MHz reference
source. The output power is calibrated and stabilizedwith good accuracy.
