Elcom Introduces Phase Coherent Broadband Synthesizer

Rockleigh, New Jersey -- Elcom Technologies, Inc. has released a new phase coherent Broadband Synthesizer. The UFS-18 Series is based on direct-analog design techniques combined with DDS capability for frequency resolution. The unit also provides wide band FM chirp and IF Input.

Elcom achieves simultaneous phase coherent and random access switching at 1 Hz resolution and under 200 ns across the full band using its propriety digital synthesizer core design.

The UFS series can be customized to meet special applications such as; EW Threat and Target Simulators, Radar Cross Section Instrumentation, Fire Control & Search Radar Upgrades, Semiconductor Test, and ATE Speed-Up.
