PICO TECHNOLOGY PQ163

The PicoSource™ AS108 Agile Synthesizer is designed to meet the needs of both benchtop and integrated module applications. Its broad 300 kHz to 8 GHz frequency range, fast settling and programmable phase, frequency and amplitude match it to a wide range of applications, with the added advantages of low cost, small footprint and 12 to 15 V power requirement. The AS108 has professional-grade performance that is effective in both static and parameter-agile applications, making it a bench or field instrument for developers, scientists, educators, students, and service and installation technicians. Its speed, external clock referencing and trigger capabilities all suit it to system integrations such as automated test, unmanned installations and multi-signal stimulus. A user-programmable power-up mode is planned for a future update. The AS108 is a full-function USB-controlled vector (IQ) modulating signal synthesizer. Multiple synthesizers can be controlled from multiple instances of the software running on a single controlling PC or device.
