Description
The SMS-D synthesizer is a miniature 'multi-loop' microwave source designed to offer the best phase noise and switching speed possible. By using a 'double-then-mix-down' topology, the overall PLL 'N' count is kept below 40 for frequencies up through 13 GHz without sacrificing frequency resolution. Careful selection of frequency plan yields spurious performance of better than -70 dBc. Loop filter gain adjustments and band switching are all controlled internally via programmable logic devices. Many configurations and frequency bands can incorporate the same basic architecture, saving the customer NRE costs for a custom module. A perfect fit for radar or radio link requirements.
