MG36021A

The MG36021A from Anritsu is a Microwave Frequency Synthesizer that operates from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. It is a portable solution designed to complement Anritsu’s high-performance Rubidium bench top signal generators. This synthesizer provides an output power of +18 dBm. It has spurious levels of -60 dBc and a phase noise of -126 dBc/Hz (at 10 kHz offset). The combination of low phase noise and superior non-harmonic spurious response enables this synthesizer to act as a low-jitter clock source for Gbit ADC/DAC testing and high-speed optical systems. It has a switching speed of less than 50 µs, which saves testing time and reduces test cost. 

The MG36021A can be remotely controlled using USB and SPI interfaces and also supports standard SCPI and QuickSyn native commands, which make developing scripts easy and user-friendly for testing purposes. This microwave synthesizer requires a DC supply of +12 V. It is available as a compact module that measures 4.0 x 4.0 x 0.8 inches and is suitable for use in space-constrained applications.
