TITLE: High-Frequency Dual-Channel Signal Synthesizer

Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory Spectrum Technology and Research Division Shared Spectrum Metrology Group (675.03)

General Statement of Need:

Accurate noise characterization is critical for amplifiers and transistors. A new wide band millimeter wave (mmWave) digital correlator measuring noise parameters based on a wave model was recently developed that covers 4 GHz segment of the Ka band. Ka band has been primarily used for high-capacity satellite communications, 5G/6G networks, and radar applications. It provides wide bandwidth supporting high-speed data transfer and allowing compact receivers. To down convert the mmWave signal, the key item is a stand-alone, high-performance and stable radio-frequency dual-channel (or multi-channel) signal synthesizer providing both precision magnitude and coherent phase as the local oscillators.
