Frequency Synthesizer 50Ω KSN-3700A+ 3700 MHz (fixed) The Big Deal • Low phase noise and spurious • Robust design and construction • Small size 0.800" x 0.584" x 0.240" CASE STYLE: DK1171 Product Overview The KSN-3700A+ is a Frequency Synthesizer, designed to operate 3700 MHz for Military & Avionics application. The KSN-3700A+ is packaged in a metal case (size of 0.800" x 0.584" x 0.240") to shield against unwanted signals and noise. Key Features Feature Advantages Low phase noise and spurious: • Phase Noise: -97 dBc/Hz typ. @ 10 kHz offset • Comparison Spurious: -90 dBc typ. • Reference Spurious: -90 dBc typ. Low phase noise and spurious improve system EVM (Error Vector Magnitude). Robust design and construction To enhance the robustness of KSN-3700A+, each internal component is secured to the substrate with chip bonder, thereby eliminating the risk of tombstoning during subsequent solder reflow operations by the customer. Small size, 0.800" x 0.584" x 0.240" The small size enables the KSN-3700A+ to be used in compact designs. ® RoHS compliant IF/RF MICROWAVE COMPONENTS������ 9001 ISO 14001 AS 9100 CERTIFIED P.O.
