A major area of specialization at Elcom Technologies is the design and manufacture of high tuning speed, low phase noise microwave frequency synthesizers. Elcom’s microwave synthesizer products find widespread applications in demanding test and measurement installations. For many test configurations, the switching speed of the synthesizer drives test throughput, and increasing throughput translates directly to reduced costs. Elcom’s UFS direct analog synthesizers have tuning speeds of 200 nanoseconds, and IBS indirect PLL based synthesizers have tuning speeds of 100 microseconds, providing cost effective solutions for high throughput test configurations. Both synthesizer families feature a wide tuning range of 0.1 GHz to 18 GHz standard, small frequency step size, 1 Hz, exceptionally low phase noise, and low spurious.
