To address today's market requirements for a low-cost, high-performance frequency synthesizer, Phase Matrix has introduced the QuickSyn™ series of microwave frequency synthesizers. The employed patented architecture provides a unique combination of fast-switching speed and low phase noise characteristics. The main idea is to substitute a slow-tuning, bulky and expensive YIG oscillator (normally used in high-end designs) with a tiny VCO that can easily support microsecond tuning. Excessive phase noise (traditionally associated with VCO devices) is suppressed by utilizing an ultra-wideband PLL scheme in conjunction with a low-noise reference source.
