EM Research has announced the commercial availability of the SLS-2100, a frequency synthesizer which has been designed specifically to suit the requirements of telemetry applications.

In a release, the company says the new product delivers lower noise emission -- reporting a standard noise emission less than or equal to 127 dBC/Hz @100 KHz.

The SLS-2100 is also capable of accepting serial programming and it functions in the frequency range between 1900-2100 MHz with a step size of 100 KHz. It also delivers a rapid switching speed (750 uSEC) and can be tailor made to run on both L and S band frequency on fixed or programmable systems.

Also incorporated into the system is a discretionary internal reference application which runs on an ambient temperature range of -30°C to +70°C, with an output power of +8dBm, low spurs (<-95 dBC), and functions on a standard supply voltage of +12V @ 155 mA.

EM Research has developed the SLS-2100 specifically to significantly better the present levels of interoperability of telemetry applications. It has been cased in a strong and formidable aluminum external covering of dimensions 1.5” x 1.5” x 0.6” and has been equipped with female SMA (News - Alert) connectors. Because of its unique functionality, the SLS synthesizer is expected to find application in satellite communication receivers, test and measurement applications, and can also serve as a regional oscillator for up and down converters in multiple telemetry applications.

The company claims to produce the most comprehensive list of signal sources in the microwave industry. Its suite of signal sources places special emphasis on high performance standards and can be tailor made to suit the requirements of specific clients. Its surface mount and modular Phase Locked Oscillators (PLO) and Frequency Synthesizers (PLL) operate on multiple frequencies ranging from 4MHz to more than 18 MHz -- and are extensively used in commercial and military systems. EM Research was founded in 1991 and has been involved in the design and volume manufacture of cutting edge and ultra miniature phase-locked signal sources since then.
