The THOR-16000-XA multi-output frequency synthesizer from EM Research, Reno, NV, features a single 800-MHz and dual 16-GHz RF outputs. The unit locks to an external 50-MHz reference and exhibits low phase noise at both RF output frequencies. At 100-KHz offset, phase noise is ≤118 dBc/Hz @ 800 MHz and ≤94 dBc/Hz @ 16 GHz. All three outputs have output power of +10 dBm, harmonics ≤30 dBc, spurs ≤70 dBc, and draw 570 mA current while supplied to +5V.
