| FEATURES |
|
Synthesizers |
- Spectrum Microwave’s synthesizers offer wide bandwidth, multiple step size options, fast switching speed, and low phase noise combined with the cost advantages of standardized packages.
- Frequency control options include Serial/parallel inputs, BCD/Binary format, or traditional thumbwheel switches.
|
|
PLOs (Phase Locked Oscillators) |
- Spectrum Microwave’s experience with Phase Locked Oscillators covers a period of 35 years. We have worked closely with Systems Engineers on some of the most technically sophisticated programs in the country.
- The PLO must be compatible with other components in the system and must not only operate properly on the “bench” but must also operate properly within complex systems.

DROs & CROs |
|
|
|
Comb Generators |
- Spectrum Microwave's Series 95 Comb Generators use a Step Recovery Diode (SRD) to generate very narrow voltage spikes; these in turn produce an output frequency spectrum rich in harmonics.
- The spacing between the signals is equal to the source that drives the SRD which in most cases is a stable crystal oscillator.
|
|
SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) Oscillators |
- Spectrum Microwave, a leading manufacturer of standard and custom SAW Oscillators, combines low phase noise, excellent frequency stability and rugged construction in a line-up of cost effective SAW Oscillator solutions.
|
|
VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) |
- Spectrum Microwave's VCOs are high quality devices designed to serve both commercial and military requirements.
- Using high performance varactor diodes and optimizing circuit design techniques, Spectrum Microwave's engineering achieves low phase noise and superior high selectivity performance.
|
|
DTOs (Digitally Tuned Oscillators) |
- Our custom designed DTOs consist of a select number of sub-band VCOs covering customer specific frequency ranges between 2 GHz and 18 GHz.
- Additional features include: low residual FM (<-20 dBc @ 100 kHz), RF output power (+10 to +16 dBm), high reliability for military applications, and fully-customizable output connectors.
|
|
FMOs (Frequency Multiplier Oscillators) |
- Our Frequency Multiplier Oscillator (FMO) is a compact 21 channel synthesized signal generator that provides transmit and LO signals for L-band and S-Band airborne radar systems.
- This design incorporates a unique isolation system for exceptional phase noise performance during vibration.
|
|
MROs (Master Reference Oscillators) |
- Our Master Reference Oscillators (MROs) utilize a unique dampening structure, suspending the oscillator in mid-air isolating it from the detrimental effects of microphonics on phase noise performance.
- We utilize SC cut crystal for stability and low noise and minimize pushing through internal voltage regulation.
|
|
Multiplied Phase Locked Oscillators |
- With 13 models to choose from, these Multiplied PLOs incorporate unique features including: DC Voltage Regulation, Automatic Reference Sensing, Low Current Consumption and Multiple RF Outputs.
- With an output range of 80 to 1600 MHz, these passive multiplier designs can be configured for most military airborne and ground based applications.
