The HSY series RF synthesizers offer industry-leading phase noise and spectral purity as multi-channel continuous wave sources. The compact 1U chassis allows for 1 to 2 independently configured channels (frequency / phase shift / amplitude) to optimize channel density in test setups with limited space. Custom frequency options can be configured to cover ranges from 10 MHz to 3 GHz, 6 GHz, 12 GHz, and 20 GHz. Each broadband output channel provides a precise dynamic range from +18 dBmW to -110 dBmW. The unique multi-contour architecture ensures maximum frequency accuracy, inter-channel stability, and phase coherence.
Features and Benefits Fully independent channels: each RF output is controlled by a separate synthesizer/attenuator module with internal loading. Up to 2 independent configurable synthesizers can be installed in a single 1U chassis, providing the highest channel density in its class.
Phase-coherent channels: HSY9000 series RF synthesizers leverage the advantages of a multi-contour architecture based on YIG with a centralized reference signal distribution subsystem, supporting tight phase coherence across all channels.
Highest inter-channel stability: unlike traditional PLL-based synthesizers, the patented multi-contour architecture creates precisely synthesized signals demonstrating both instantaneous and long-term stability. Temperature fluctuations between channels are the only factor affecting drift. The thermally optimized fanless chassis is specially designed to maintain minimal thermal gradients between channels. Temperature monitoring for each loaded synthesizer module is available for tracking relative temperature.
