From Phase Matrix, Inc.
 

 

Synthesizer design methods have evolved over time, and this series of articles offers an update on well-established and recently developed techniques

Products & Services
RF upconverters and RF downconverters are used to change the frequency of an RF signal on a large scale. Learn more about RF Upconverters and RF Downconverters
Frequency synthesizers are electronic devices that generate frequencies by using a combination of other frequencies. Search by Specification | Learn more about Frequency Synthesizers
Phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers are electronic devices that produce frequencies coherent to a reference frequency. Search by Specification | Learn more about PLL Frequency Synthesizers
Oscillators are devices that are used to generate repetitive signals. They produce output signals without an input signal. There are two major types of electronic oscillators: harmonic oscillators and relaxation oscillators. Harmonic oscillators produce sine wave outputs. Relaxation oscillators produce non-sine wave outputs such as square wave, rectangular wave, and sawtooth outputs. Search by Specification | Learn more about Oscillators
RF frequency converters are integrated component assemblies required for converting microwave signals to lower (or intermediate) or higher frequency range for further processing.   Search by Specification | Learn more about RF Frequency Converters
