nanoSynth® SMT Synthesizers

SignalCore continues to enlarge its nanoCircuits® platform with the introduction of 3 new synthesizers as part of the SMT nanoSynth® family. The SC801A and SC802A, part of our Hummingbird series, are fully integrated broadband CW signal synthesizers that tune at 1 Hz resolution between the range of 0.625 GHz to 10 GHz and 1.25 GHz to 20 GHz respectively. Built upon our proprietary low phase noise architecture, these synthesizers exhibit ultra-low phase noise of < -115 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz for a 10 GHz carrier. Along with sweep and list mode functions, and small size of 2.5” x 1.75” x 0.31”, these synthesizers are ideal building blocks for RF and microwave systems.

These units require an external 200 MHz reference. We recommend using the SC803A, part of the Weebill reference source series.

Full implementation instructions, GUI, driver software, and example code are provided with each module.
