40 GHz CW Signal Generators (Signal Sources)
The SC5520A and SC5521A are part of the ultra-high frequency synthesizer series (UHFS) of signal generators. It has a frequency tuning range of 160 MHz to 40 GHz stepping at 1 Hz resolution with an amplitude range of -10 dBm to +15 dBm typical with phase noise among the lowest in the market. These modules are both compact and rugged, making them ideal for system integration into frequency converters, test equipment, or as clocks in modern day digital data converters.
It has been proven that, in digital communications, this device's superb phase noise does not degrade the EVM of digital data. The excellent phase noise of this signal generator and its cost effectiveness will make system design a smooth process.
Full implementation instructions, GUI, driver software, and example code are provided with each module.
