Anritsu's EcoSyn Lite MG36021A is a 10 MHz to 20 GHz CW Microwave frequency synt hesizer module in a compact form factor with outstanding phase noise, ultra-fast switching speed and high output power.
EcoSyn Lite's phase noise performance of -126 dBc/Hz (typical) at 10 GHz and 10 kHz offset is one of the best in its class. Along with non-harmonic spurious of -60 dBc (max), EcoSyn Lite can be used as a high purity clock source with low ji tter for Gbit ADC/DAC testing and in high-speed optical systems.
EcoSyn Lite's low phase noise both at close in and far off offsets and its robus t output power of +18 dBm at 20 GHz makes it ideal for use as an LO for up/down converters in RF/microwave transceivers. These transceivers increasingly use com plex and high order modulation signals which require LO’s with very low phase n oise for up/down conversion.
EcoSyn Lite offers ultra-fast frequency switching time of less than 50 μs in tri ggered list mode. Fast frequency switching speed saves testing time in productio n test environments. Switching speed can also be critical in radar cross section (RCS) measurements necessary to establish radar signatures for known targets suc h as aircraft, ships, and missiles. Testing an antenna also requires measuring m any frequencies. EcoSyn Lite's ultra-fast switching speed can save a lot of test ing time.
EcoSyn Lite synthesizer module is housed in portable, compact size of 101.6 mm x 101.6 mm x 20.32 mm (4 in x 4 in x 0.8 in) in a form factor which enables it to be used in space-constrained applications which require instrumentation grade CW signal source. It supports USB and SPI interfaces for remote control and is powe red using a +12 VDC source.
EcoSyn Lite supports standard SCPI and QuickSyn native commands which make devel oping scripts to remotely control and automate very easy and user friendly.
