NSI-RF-7002

HIGH SPEED DUAL SYNTHESIZER

The NSI-RF-7002 Panther High Speed Microwave Synthesizer was designed specifically to address the demanding needs of the antenna test community. The Panther 7002 is a high performance synthesizer designed for high-throughput applications where speed and accuracy are required. The Panther 7002 is compatible with a wide variety of receivers, including the NSI Panther 6000 and the Agilent 8530A receivers.

Up to 3,333 frequencies per second (300 µs/pt.) - reducing antenna test time and improving range productivity 0.5 to 6.0 GHz Power output +10 dBm typical Compatible with a variety of receivers

Fully integrated with NSI 4.0 data collection software Simple DLL interface for integration into automated test programs Low profile design Frequency list capability with TTL trigger control

SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM

The Panther 7002 Synthesizer's built-in controller allows PC-based measurement application software to transfer frequency lists, timing, and other information during test setup. Once configured, the Panther 7002 allows simple, fast source control that can be used to free the measurement computer from critical timing requirements. The Panther 7002 supports TTL hardware triggering through individual rear-panel connectors.

NSI provides full program support for the Panther 7002 with the NSI 2000 Antenna Measurement Software. For other applications, NSI provides a driver for integration of the synthesizer with the Panther 6000 receiver with High Speed Beam Controller (HSBC). For stand-alone applications, NSI will provide the interface specification.
