Microwave Synthesizer: SERIES SF60

Application Notes for Microwave Oscillators

Series SF60 Fast Indirect Synthesizer

KRATOS General Microwave has developed the series SF60 fast, broadband, low phase noise and small size synthesizer, to meet the needs of a general purpose fast synthesizer for applications such as Signal Generators and Automatic Test Equipment at an affordable price.
Each synthesizer is supplied with an internal reference crystal oscillator. The customer has the option of connecting an external reference crystal oscillator.

SIMULATOR AND TEST SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS
For military applications, this synthesizer requires option G09 to comply with Military Standards. The specific environmental MIL STD requirements as well as the EMI/RFI specifications should be
