hmc-t2100_100Hittite Launches 20 GHz Signal Generator! Compact, Versatile Synthesizer with Excellent Phase Noise from 10 MHz to 20 GHz.

Hittite Microwave Corporation, the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions for communication & military markets, has launched the HMC-T2100, a new, easy to implement 10 MHz to 20 GHz Synthesized Signal Generator which provides the highest output power, lowest harmonic levels and broadest frequency range compared with any signal generator in its class for only $7,998.00.

Ideal for use in automated test and measurement environments, research, and development laboratories, the HMC-T2100 is a compact and lightweight frequency generator that delivers up to +27 dBm of CW output power in 0.1 dB steps over a 40 dB dynamic range. Harmonic rejection is better than -39 dBc at 1 GHz and spurious products are better than -65 dBc at 10 GHz. Phase noise is -113 dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz offset from 1 GHz with insignificant deviation over the temperature range of 0 to +35°C. The broad frequency range of 10 MHz to 20 GHz covers all major communication bands with frequency resolution of 10 kHz and fast switching speed of 300 us.

Built on a foundation of Hittite’s high quality and market leading MMICs, this versatile signal generator features multiple interfaces (USB, GPIB and Ethernet) and innovative control software ensuring carefree integration within multiple test environments. An installation disk that accompanies each unit includes all of the drivers required to remotely control the device as well as a user friendly LabWindowsTM based GUI interface compatible with Windows XP® or Windows Vista® operating systems. User control is facilitated via pull down menus that allow programming of single or swept modes in frequency and/or power. Integration of multiple units within a production test environment is easy and affordable.

The HMC-T2100 is compact and lightweight making it well suited for integration within various test environments, while improving overall productivity and equipment utilization. The size and capability of the HMC-T2100 ensures a simpler test configuration coupled with exceptional value.

The HMC-T2100 Synthesized Signal Generator can be ordered via the company's e-commerce site or direct purchase order. Contact us today to request your on-site product demonstration.
