Valon 5009 Dual Frequency Synthesizer
Module
The new Valon 5009 Dual Frequency
Synthesizer module is our latest offering in high frequency synthesizer
sources. These frequency synthesizers are perfect in applications that
require a spectrally pure and highly stable signal source or timing clock. Our synthesizers have replaced laboratory
generators costing many times more in a number of applications. Each module actually contains two identical
sources locked to the same internal or external frequency reference or
standard. Having two phase coherent sources in the same convenient
package opens up a wide variety of test applications and solutions
The Valon 5009 frequency range is 23MHz
to 6000MHz. The output power is increased to +15dBm and can be
adjusted in 0.5dB steps with 31.5dB step attenuator.
·
Extended frequency
operation from 23MHz to 6000MHz
·
31.5dB of
attenuation control
·
Output power up to
+13dBm minimum, 15dBm typical
·
Simple human
readable command based interface with menu. Use any terminal program.
·
USB or TTL serial
interface. TTL interface allows simple user hardware integration.
·
Overvoltage
protection as well as under voltage reset
·
±2ppm analog TCXO,
external reference input 10 – 200 MHz.
New in the 5009 is an ARM
32-bit Cortextm M3 processor. The synthesizer can now be command-line
driven and any terminal program can be used to control the synthesizers.
Simple human readable text commands can be used to set all the functions.
The GUI will still be available as a free download but it’s not essential to
the operation of the synthesizer. The embedded firmware upgrades and new
features will be downloadable from our website as they become available.
There is also an additional
TTL serial port that allows for direct machine-to-machine hardware interfacing;
bypassing the USB port altogether. You
can connect the 5009 using the TTL port directly to your embedded controller
without the need for any USB drivers.
Firmware updates
All new updates can easily be
loaded onto the synthesizer through the serial port using our code loader
software. You will never need to return
the synthesizer for firmware upgrades or changes.
·
Sweep mode (available soon) - The 5009 will be capable of fast
sweep modes. The user simply sets the start and stop points, number of
steps, and the sweep rate. Sweep can be triggered by a command through
either serial port or an external hardware trigger input. Single sweep and continuous sweep modes are
selectable. Sweep progress can be monitored by the sweep step pulse and
sweep enabled hardware signals.
·
List mode (available soon) - A new “List” mode will be
included. List mode is similar to having radio-button presets. You
can save up to 16 synthesizer frequency configurations which can be recalled
using logic signals on the convenient user port. After you set and save
your frequencies in list mode you no longer need a controller or computer to
select any of the presets specified in List mode.
