The 1225D-SE from ACST GmbH is a mmWave Signal Source with a frequency range from 275 to 295 GHz. It has an integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) that can generate mmWave signals with an output power of +11 dBm. This signal source has V-tune ports to set the output signal frequency by tuning the voltage from 0.8 to 5 V. It has a modular design with plug-and-play operation and does not require any adjustment for proper operation. This signal source requires a DC supply of 9 V and all required voltage biases, and current sources are provided by an integrated Power Supply Unit (PSU). It has a TTL port for ON-OFF modulation and requires no dedicated power supply to switch.
The 1225D-SE is available in a module that measures 85 x 25 x 25 mm and has a WR-3.4 waveguide output interface (UG 387/U-M). It is ideal for use in laboratory instrumentation, mmWave FMCW radar, and active imaging applications.
