Excellent signal purity with fast switching and high output power

Saelig now offers the Berkeley Nucleonics Model 865 range of ultra-low-noise and fast-switching microwave signal generators covering a continuous frequency range from 100kHz up to 6, 12.75, 20, 26 and 40GHz with 1mHz resolution. The generators offer an accurately flat signal range and high spurious suppression. Advanced frequency synthesis couples the fastest switching speeds with ultra-low SSB phase noise and fine resolution of both frequency and power. The standard model includes intra/pulse chirp modulations, frequency chirps, pulse modulation with programmable patterns, and phase modulation. The device enables fast analog and digital sweeps including flexible list sweeps, where frequency, power and dwell times can be set individually. A flexible triggering capability simplifies synchronisation within sophisticated test environments. All devices operate with an ultra-stable temperature compensated frequency reference (OCXO) to ensure minimal drift and can be phase-locked to an external reference. Also, optimum phase synchronous signals can be reached by bypassing the internal reference and feeding a 1GHz signal directly as reference. The compact unit provides full front panel control via a touch panel display. Others options available include extended range low power output, ultra-fast switching, enhanced close-in-phase noise, modulation features, and battery operation for field or isolated work, GPIB interface, and more.
