PFS-618-CD-2 Active

High Speed Frequency Synthesizer

Quantic PMI Model PFS-618-CD-2 is a high-speed frequency synthesizer that operates over the frequency range of 6 to 18 GHz with 100 kHz steps with an output power of 10 dBm minimum. The unit is accurate to within ±1 MHz and settles within 1 µs. Features low SSB Noise, a low spurious output of -50 dBc and harmonics are kept below -30 dBc. Package size measures only 6.48" x 6.23" x 1.6" with a 9 Pin Sub-D male for power, a 37 Pin Sub-D male for control and SMA female connectors.
