SWITCHING SPEED: The FS-2000 switches between any two

frequencies. 50 MHz-18.4 GHz in less than 1 msec. the switch-

ing time is measured: From the time the FS-2000 receives a

strobe command to switch until the phase dector output shows

arrival at new frequency. The FS-2000 is unique: the larger the

step, the faster the switching speed: with 1 GHz steps and larger,

typically switching in less than 250 nsec.

PHASE NOISE: The FS-2000 provides sub-microsecond switch-

ing and superior phase noise performance. The absolute phase

noise curve below shows the actual output which includes the

noise contribution of the internal 10 MHz Standard. The residual

phase noise of the FS-2000 is also shown below. This indicates

that if a lower noise external reference (5 MHz, 10 MHz or 100

MHz) is used, the phase noise theoretically can approach the

residual phase noise of the FS-2000.

OEM CONFIGURATION GUIDE: Aeroflex’s modular architec-

ture and iterative frequency plan makes it ideally suited for

Custom OEM applications. Just two standard modules make up

a 50 MHz - 2.3 GHz, 100 MHz resolution OEM synthesizer with

the same specifications as the standard family, needing only DC

power and frequency reference. To obtain finer resolution and/

or wider frequency coverage, just add the appropriate standard

modules. Factory assistance is available to help you configure an

OEM synthesizer which best meets your electrical or environ-

mental specifications.
