The HFS-12000-XA is a 7000 to 12000 MHz surface-mount frequency synthesizer designed as a high performance down-converter LO for RADAR Digital Signal Processors. The design also features low phase noise, and locks to a 100 MHz reference and contains a channel step size of 1 MHz or 10 MHz (depending on customer preference), +10 dBm power output. The product introduces a new broadband architecture to the company’s HFS Series product line and offers capabilities previously not available in the market. The growing demands of the signals intelligence market require wider bandwidths and better performance in small, compact packages, particularly for airborne RADAR applications. The HFS-12000-XA design marks another example of EM Research’s ability to deliver leading edge technologies for customer’s most demanding requirements.

Product Features

• Broadband, Surface-Mount Design (7 to 12 GHz)
• Low Phase Noise (<- 90 dBc/Hz @ 100 KHz)
• Fast Switching (<750 μSec, Band-Edge to Band-Edge)

The THOR-14000-XB is a 12.75 to 14 GHz hermetically-sealed frequency synthesizer designed for air-to-sea Directional Network System (DNS) communication links. The high performance synthesizer is designed for use in a mission critical communications mesh network and features fast 1 MHz channel switching for quick acquisition (<400 µSec. Band-Edge to Band-Edge) and a wide, Ku-Band architecture for broad spectrum range support.

The THOR-14000-XB locks to an external 10 MHz reference and exhibits low phase noise (<-91 dBc/Hz @ 10 KHz). The unit has output power of +7 dBm, harmonics <-30 dBc, spurs <-60 dBc, and draws 420 mA current while supplied to +5V. Programming is achieved via 3.3V TTL Serial Logic (3-Wire; Clock, Data, Enable) format. This highly robust package (2.5” x 1.1” x 0.4”) is built to withstand high levels of vibration and shock and operates across temperatures from -40° C to +85° C with extended temperatures available.
