The 50pin parallel connection provides random access to a 65,536 element state table stored in non-volatile memory. The state table provides 10 microsecond state transitions for frequency, amplitude, or both. The synthesizer initializes to state 0 upon turn-on allowing the synthesizer to operate in an embedded application without connection to the RS-232 interface. Each synthesizer has input and output hardware trigger connectors which allow remote state table control by external equipment and an independent dwell time for each state for synchronous stepped sweeps or independent operation. The 50-pin parallel connection also provides BCD frequency control with 10 μs arbitrary frequency changes. ew N r fo d e end -100 to -30 dBm ±2 ±2 Resolution: 0.01 dB VSWR: <1.8:1 (Fout >20 MHz) 20 Alpha Road Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order Online at www.hittite.com SYNTHESIZED SIGNAL GENERATOR RS-232 (A) 9 CONTROL I/O PARALLEL I/O 50 (A) Spectral Purity 9-2 HMC-T1000A DUAL SYNTHESIZED SIGNAL GENERATOR, 10 MHz to 8 GHz v01.0108 Test & Measurement Applications for the HMC-T1000A 9 Second & Third Order Intermodulation Intercept Test Set-up 3'065" 3'065# *0 $0/530"# D E U N I T N O T C C S U I D D O R P 3'*/ HMC-T1000A DUT 3'065 *0 $0/530- Device Under Test • Amplifiers • Control Devices • Mixers & Converters • RFICs & Subsystems SYNTHESIZED SIGNAL GENERATOR 3'*/ 9-3 Spectrum Analyzer ew N r fo d e end ns g i s De High Speed Mixer Conversion Loss, Isolation & MxN Spurious Test Set-up 3'065# 3'065" mm o c Re t o N *0$0/530-"# HMC-T1000A *0 $0/530- LO HMC-C024 DUT IF RF Spectrum Analyzer 3'*/ HMC-C024 Wideband Driver Module • 0.01 - 20 GHz • 15 dB Gain • +23 dBm P1dB Device Under Test • Single or Double-Balanced Mixers • Up/Down Converters • I/Q Mixers 20 Alpha Road Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order Online at www.hittite.com HMC-T1000A DUAL SYNTHESIZED SIGNAL GENERATOR, 10 MHz to 8 GHz v01.0108 With an output power range of -80 dBm to +15 dBm, and an output power resolution of 0.01 dB, the HMCT1000A can satisfy the dynamic range requirements of most test and communication environments without the need for external amplifiers and attenuators.
