Ku-Band Synthesizer Features RF Enable / Disable Design Suitable For OOK, ASK And PPM Modulation Techniques

The THOR-16000 Ku-Band frequency synthesizer from EM Research operates at 15.5 GHz over a >5% bandwidth and features a RF enable/disable switch, suitable for On-Off Keying (OOK), Amplitude-Shift Keying (ASK) and Pulse-Position Modulation (PPM) techniques. The switching capability features >30 dB on/off isolation and <50 nSEC transition time. The THOR-16000 is housed in a hi-rel, rugged package (2.5" x 1.1" x 0.4") of aluminum alloy, with operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Additional characteristics of the unit include, low phase noise, low spurs, and low power consumption (+5 VDC @ <200 mA).

The THOR-Series from EM Research is available from 1 to 18 GHz in fixed to >30% bandwidths. Custom units feature external references from 5 to 125 MHz or optional internal references, select supply voltages (+5, +8 or +12 VDC) and 10 KHz to 10 MHz step sizes. Hermetically-sealed units are available with wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and high-vibration tolerance.
