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. s sign De Resolution: 0.01 dB VSWR: 20 MHz) 20 Alpha Road Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order Online at www.hittite.com 9-2 SYNTHESIZED SIGNAL GENERATOR Range: 10 MHz to 8 GHz Resolution: 0.001 Hz Switching Speed: 10 μsec to within 10 Degrees Accuracy: Same as Internal Reference Reference Output: 10 MHz @ +7 dBm ±4 dB External Reference Input: 10 MHz @ +7 dBm ±4 dB ED NU TI N CO UCT IS OD D PR CONTROL I/O STATE TABLE MEMORY SYNTHESIZER (B) 10 MHz - 8 GHz RFOUT (B) >50 kHz -155 Remote Programming PROGRAM I/O Interfaces: RS-232, Parallel (50 Pin TTL) State Number or BCD Frequency I/O Connections 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 SYNTHESIZED SIGNAL GENERATOR High Speed Mixer Conversion Loss, Isolation & MxN Spurious Test Set-up ED NU TI N CO UCT IS OD D PR HMC -T1000A DUT Device Under Test • Amplifiers • Control Devices • Mixers & Converters • RFICs & Subsystems Spectrum Analyzer m com e ot R N HMC -T1000A w r Ne o ed f end s sign De LO HMC-C024 DUT RF IF Spectrum Analyzer 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 9-3 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 Flexible Architecture to Meet Your Current and Future Needs 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.
