The QM2010 USB RF synthesizer series from
Quonset Microwave offers a low cost solution for
today’s demanding RF signal generation needs.
The QM2010-10-20 RF Synthesizer Module is a low-
cost, wideband 10 GHz to 20 GHz frequency
synthesizer ideally suited for bench top test and
measurement as well as low-cost small form-factor
communications systems. Its wide output frequency
range, superb spurious rejection, and excellent phase
noise performance provide a high-quality, low-cost
alternative to conventional bench top RF signal
generators. The RF synthesizer module is capable of
phase locking to its internal 50 MHz reference or a
user provided external reference.
The RF synthesizer module is powered and controlled
directly by a host PC through USB. The QM2010-10-
20 is VISA compliant, enabling seamless cross-
platform use. Users can control QM2010 series
synthesizers through a lightweight control GUI,
supported on Windows
®
, Macintosh
®
, or Linux
®
platforms, with SCPI compliant VISA commands,
described in the QM2010 User Manual, or with third
party development environments such as LabVIEW
®
.
The RF Synthesizer you can carry in your pocket!
