HSX SERIES
RF SYNTHESIZERS

INDUSTRY LEADING SPECTRAL PURITY
The HSX Series was developed to be the cleanest CW sources available. Phase noise
performance, spurious rejection and harmonic /sub-harmonic rejection were the primary focus points
during the development cycle. The result is an extremely high performing, broadband CW source.
The HSX Series will initially be released as a 10MHz to 6GHz CW source with subsequent models
operating to 10GHz and 20GHz to follow. This series of broadband frequency sources exhibit
industry leading phase noise and spectral purity performance coupled with a highly accurate
dynamic range of +18dBm to -110dBm. The 1U high form factor will be available in 1, 2, 3 or 4
channel models; all providing the ultimate in frequency accuracy, channel-to-channel stability and
phase coherent channels.
