Electronic warfare (EW), electronic countermeasures (ECM), secure communications, and electronic intelligence systems have the daunting challenge of detecting, characterizing, and countering threats with a diverse combination of characteristics over a wide frequency range. To accomplish this, they must be able to generate signals with precisely defined attributes at the frequency of the threat and do so at high speed. |

Signal sources in general, and high-performance frequency synthesizers in particular, rate high on any list of “most customized microwave products”. As any design engineer quickly learns, choosing a synthesizer for a given application invariably requires tradeoffs between tuning speed, phase noise, weight, and power consumption. |
