Variable Frequency Coherent Hybrid SynthesizerNational Radio Astronomy Observatory, VA, United States | |
TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY The new synthesizer design (originally designed for radio telescopes) is used for local oscillators (LO) with increased tuning resolution and smaller synthesizer steps sizes that will provide greater flexibility and increased capability of existing hardware. Primary Application Area: Instrumentation & Manufacturing Technology Development Status: Proven Manufacturability Technology Readiness Level: TRL 7 | FIGURES OF MERIT Value Proposition: Overcomes traditional problems related to Fine Tune Synthesizers (FTS) and Direct Digital Synthesizers (DDS) and provides steppings as small as 1 Hz. |
