The 845-M is a wideband low phase-noise synthesizer operating up to 20 GHz. The module has a milli-Hz frequency resolution and uses a high-stability internal reference. The internal reference can be phase-locked to a programmable external reference.
The module has a USB and LAN interface and can be controlled using SCPI 1999 command sets. This small module operates with an external 6V DC supply and includes BNC’s SigGen GUI software package.
The Model 845-M is a wideband low phase-noise synthesizer operating from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. The nominal output power is +23 dBm. The module has a mili-Hz frequency resolution and uses a high-stability internal reference. The internal reference can be phase-locked to a user-settable external reference. For highest phase coherence, multiple Model 845-Ms can be cascaded with just one master reference clock. The Model 845-M offers dedicated sweeping capabilities with switching speeds of only 25 µs and wideband frequency modulation as well as narrow pulse modulation. The module has USB and LAN interfaces and can be controlled using the SCPI 1999 command set. Operated with an external 6V DC supply, it consumes less than 10 watts.
