New X-Band Synthesizer Meets Defense SATCOM Requirements

Sunnyvale, CA -- Endwave Defense Systems, a manufacturer of RF subsystems and components for military and homeland security applications, has announced the release of a new X-band synthesizer that meets the rigid requirements of Satcom environments. This high performance synthesizer operates over the X-band Satcom range of 6.410 to 7.545 GHz and can be customized to meet step size requirements from 1 KHz down to 1 Hz. It features spectral purity and low phase noise of -77 dBc at 100 Hz offsets and -125 dBc at 1 MHz offsets.

The X band synthesizer is suitable for harsh-environment defense applications where a combination of low noise, wide bandwidth, and small step size are needed. The base model is based on Endwave's proprietary YIG oscillators. Applications include: field portable X-band Satcom terminals, control links for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and tri-band converters.

Other S-, C-, Ku-, Ka-, and Tri-Band synthesizers are also available in both YIG and VCO-based designs. F
