Model 805-M | Ultra-Agile Frequency Synthesizer

The Model 805-M is a compact, cost-effective RF signal generator that delivers stable, accurate frequencies from 100 kHz to 22 GHz making it a practical choice for engineers who need reliable performance in tight spaces or budget-conscious setups.

  • Wide Frequency Coverage: Continuous output from 100 kHz to 22 GHz with excellent phase noise and spurious performance for demanding applications.
  • Phase-Coherent Multi-Channel Support: Link multiple units for synchronized, phase-aligned operation essential for systems requiring precise timing across channels.
  • Compact & Integration-Friendly: Small footprint designed for easy embedding into RF/microwave racks, automated test equipment, or custom enclosures.
  • Fast Switching & Phase Control: Sub-microsecond switching and individual channel phase adjustment for rapid, accurate signal alignment.
  • User-Friendly Operation: Straightforward interface that simplifies setup whether you’re running single-unit tests or building multi-channel configurations.

This low-phase-noise RF signal generator excels as a local oscillator or clock source in real-world scenarios, including:

  • Radar receiver development and phased-array beamforming
  • Quantum computing I/Q modulators and control systems
  • MIMO receivers and heterodyne spectroscopy setups
  • Agile electronic warfare with fast frequency hopping

Widely regarded as a strong, modern alternative to discontinued National Instruments QuickSyn models (FSW-0020, FSW-0010, FSL-0010, FSL-0020), offering comparable or better performance at a lower cost with added multi-unit synchronization flexibility.
