Generators/Sources

The CNG-EbNo is a fully automated instrument that sets and maintains a highly accurate ratio between a user-supplied carrier and internally generated AWGN noise, over a wide range of signal power levels and frequencies.

These low-noise and fast-switching microwave signal generators cover a continuous frequency range of 100 kHz up to 12, 20, and 26.5 GHz, and are available in a fully customizable OEM/1U rack mount configuration. They’re ideally suited for applications that require a high-quality CW microwave source or versatile modulation.

Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation (BNC) offers the Model 865-M wideband low phase-noise synthesizer for applications operating from 100 kHz to 40 GHz. Features include a settable output power range from -5 to +20 dBm, a mili-Hz frequency resolution that uses a high-stability internal reference, and an internal reference that can be phase-locked to a user-settable external reference.

The J7000A Series instruments high crest factor output is used as a random jitter source for serial data bus applications, including PCI Express Gen I & II, Serial ATA, and Fiber Channel. 

Holzworth Instrumentation offers the HXS Series of Multi-Channel RF Synthesizers with phase coherent channels configured to cover combinations of 10 MHz to 3 GHz, 6 GHz, 12 GHz, 24 GHz, and 40 GHz. Delivering exceptional phase noise and spectral purity performance, these multi-channel signal sources feature unique multi-loop architecture for high frequency accuracy, channel-to-channel stability, and phase coherency.

This series of ultra-low noise signal sources features exceptionally low phase noise, supplementary output at oscillator frequency, and a wide range of output frequencies and multiplication ratios. They provide a range of high-performance building blocks between 200 MHz and 3 GHz.

As its model number implies, the 745T-20C is a digital delay generator with 20 channels in one unit. It features a 100 ps time resolution (standard, with an optional 250 fs time resolution), 5 ps jitter (internal trigger), a 25 ps jitter (external trigger), 1 ns output rise times, and more.

Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation offers the Model 6040 universal pulse generator with electrical or optical output options with adjustable rates up to 100 MHz. The system delivers superior performance characteristics such as timing accuracies of 0.01% for frequency and 0.2% for delay and width. The triggering jitter of 25 ps provides synchronizing capabilities usually associated with only the very best digital delay systems. Plug-in modules allow for the selection of required output configurations.
