3010/3011

PXI RFSynthesizer

Performance Highlights Low Phase Noise: The 3010’s phase noise of typically –116 dBc/Hz at 20 kHz offset makes it ideal for use in radiocommunications test applications. Phase noise can be optimized forclose to carrier performance or for performance in the offset region 5 kHz to 100 kHz.

Using Aeroflex patented technology, themodules provide 1 Hz frequency resolutioncombined with excellent phase noise performance and frequency agility all in a single width 3Umodule. Figure 1. Typical Phase Noise profile at 2GHz Frequency Agility: Frequency settling times of typically 250 µs canbe achieved with option 01 making the 3010 suitable for use in highvolume RF component test systems or in testing of frequencyhopping radios. As standard, 3010 provides frequency switching times of typically 1.1 ms (loop bandwidth set to normal). Applications The 3010 and 3011 can be used as a stand alonefrequency synthesizer, or as the LO input to the 3020 series digital RF signal generator or 3030series RF digitizer.Used with the 3020 series, the 3010 completes anIQ modulated signal source with a frequency range up to 6 GHz. Used with the 3030 series, the 3010 completes an RF digitizer foranalysis of signals up to 6 GHz. Forthe verylatestspecifications visit
