Synthesizers Shave Phase Noise to 24 GHz (.PDF Download)

Dec. 23, 2015

Frequency stability—an essential parameter for most RF/microwave applications—is usually synonymous with a signal source capable of low noise levels. The PHS-8400 family of frequency synthesizers from Pronghorn Solutions exemplifies a line of stable signal sources, but with a unique twist: The synthesizers are available in three different form factors—benchtop, modular, and handheld configurations—that will literally fit any application...
