The HSM2001B from Holzworth Instrumentation is an RF Synthesizer Module that operates from 10 MHz to 2 GHz. This microwave CW source is architected on a non-PLL based platform. It is based on a digital/analog hybrid design that provides excellent phase noise performance and spurious response, which compliment the phase coherent nature of these hybrid signal sources.
The module can be controlled directly via the SPI bus, the Holzworth GUI, a preloaded lookup table, LabVIEW, MATLAB, C++, C#, etc. It has a switching speed of less than 300 µs and an onboard precision 100 MHz OCXO. The HSM2001B is available in a module with connectors and is ideal for electronics design, manufacturing test, and OEM systems integration applications.
