Frequency Multiplier
Oscillator (FMO)
SPECTRUM MICROWAVE
The Frequency Multiplier Oscillator (FMO) is a compact
21 channel synthesized signal generator that provides
transmit and LO signals for L-band and S-Band airborne
radar systems. This design incorporates a unique isolation
system for exceptional phase noise performance during
vibration.
This ruggedized design has successfully passed
environmental qualification for Temperature-Altitude,
Humidity, Salt Fog, Vibration, Acoustical Noise, and Shock
Testing. Interested parties should contact the factory directly
for exact levels and conditions used for environmental test.
