Gigatronics 2426M

Microwave Synthesizer

The fast frequency switching of the Giga-tronics 2400 Series Microwave Synthesizer pays dividends in any test environment where large amounts of data are collected. Regardless of the complexity of your application, such as antenna characterization or RFIC testing, the 2400 Series will quickly prove itself as your best test investment by providing quick settling of amplitude and frequency for minimum waiting between measurement points. In addition, the 2400 Series Automation Xpress software and interface option ensures unmatched 2.5 ms CW frequency and power switching performance, providing fast and flexible data exchange rates for faster testing and more device throughput.

The 2400M Series is capable of a switching frequency in less than 500 microseconds, making the 2400 ideal for test applications demanding high throughput, such as antenna characterization, T/R module evaluation, or RFIC manufacturing. In addition, the 2400''''s low phase noise makes it suitable for serving as a low jitter clock as well as a source for low noise frequency conversion. High output power and excellent spectral purity add to the 2400 standing as the best value in a general-purpose synthesized source. In addition, the 2400M/AM models all include an option for Giga-tronics Automation Xpress Interface (AXI). The AXI, for use with Giga-tronics Automation Xpress software, enables 2.5 ms CW Frequency/Power switching, making the 2400M Series one of the fastest switching synthesizers in its class. The optional Automation Xpress Interface provides faster data exchange and functional downloads/executions, as well as a stable API programming interface for the ATE programming environment.
