SUMMARY
The Holzworth HX2400 is a broadband, Ultra Low Phase Noise RF Amplifier originally designed for
use in laboratory and measurement applications where low phase noise and low additive jitter are
critical. The proprietary circuitry allows for broadband, ultra low phase noise performance while
being powered via a typical bench top power supply.
The HX2400 can be powered from bench top power supplies, a standard AC/DC adapter (available
separately) or via a 6VDC to 12VDC battery. Battery operation is ideal for use in closed systems and
ground isolated systems where low noise is absolutely critical. Furthermore, Hi-Rel design and
manufacturing standards have been adopted ensuring a solid deign for demanding OEM
applications. Holzworth products are 100% final performance tested for phase noise verification1.
