Elcom Introduces New Fast-Switching, Low Phase Noise, Broadband Synthesizer
High-end ATE solution ideally suited for agile radar, EW, and RCS systems
Rockleigh, NJ -- Elcom Technologies has released a new ultra-fast, ultra-low phase noise, high-performance, broadband synthesizer designed specifically for ATE applications. The UFS-4 Series is based on direct-analog design techniques combined with DDS capability for fine frequency resolution. This series is ideally suited for agile radar, EW, and RCS systems where low phase noise and fast switching speeds are of primary importance.
A modular design approach has been used to allow for several possible frequency ranges and step sizes. In addition, several package options are available, including VXI.
The UFS series can be customized to meet special applications such as: EW threat and target simulators, radar cross section instrumentation, fire control and search radar upgrades, semiconductor test, and ATE speed-up.
