Description

Polaris’ Microwave Frequency Synthesizers (PMFS synthesizers) operate in the frequency range from 3.4 GHz to 35 GHz and are categorized into fixed frequency synthesizers (PMFS-F synthesizers), variable frequency synthesizers (PMFS-V synthesizers), and high power synthesizers (PMFS-P synthesizers). The PMFS synthesizers employ a fractional-N PLL architecture to provide fine frequency resolution with excellent spurious and phase noise performance.
The PMFS-V synthesizers can change the output frequency with very simple programming command. The PMFS-V synthesizers have a non-volatile memory feature that will return to the last set frequency when power is turned on.
