PRESS RELEASE:..Holzworth Non-PLL Analog Synthesizers for IMD Test

As communications systems are transferring more data at higher speeds within limited bandwidths, the adverse effects of intermodulation are becoming less tolerable. Precise multi-tone signal generation is extremely valuable for emulating the non-linear artifacts of a device or system for IMD (intermodulation distortion) performance testing. IMD testing is performed by subjecting a DUT to two or more tones for simulating the effects of real-world operating conditions in a controlled environment

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: ..Ultra Low Phase Noise, Phase Coherent Synthesizers

Microwave Journal reports on Holzworth's unique multi-channel synthesizer architecture in August's Military Microwave Supplement. This product feature outlines the advantages of Holzworth's proprietary architecture which allows for the highest channel density of independently tunable synthesizers. Phase coherency and channel-to-channel phase drift are notable key advantages in addition to the performance for which Holzworth synthesizers are known. The article can be downloaded here or viewed at Microwave Journal online.
