The DS-05 from Crane Aerospace & Electronics is a Modular Frequency Synthesizer that operates from 0.5 to 22 GHz. It is tailored for the electronic warfare (EW) market, thus offering exceptional unit performance and functional integration. This frequency synthesizer has a modular design that optimizes cost and enhances performance repeatability. It provides sub-band filtering with switched filter banks, amplification, and attenuation in a single package. This synthesizer delivers an output power of +5 dB and has a frequency step size of 1 MHz. It has spurious levels of -60 dBc.
The DS-05 supports fast locking with low RMS jitter and utilizes an internal or external 10 MHz reference that automatically turns ON when an external signal is lost. This synthesizer ensures high reliability through careful device selection, tailored screening, and environmental sealing of the entire module. It consumes less than 15 W of power. This modular synthesizer is available in a surface-mount package and has an EAR99 export classification.
