The 118 - 178 GHz synthesized sweep oscillator, hereinafter, the oscillator, is intended for using as:
- a source of continuous wave and square wave modulated oscillations with a high frequency stability
- a sweep oscillator allowing for a linear frequency sweeping within the band of 118 - 178 GHz or any part of this band.
The oscillator is based on a BWO. It includes a system of the frequency stabilisation based on principles of frequency synthesising. The oscillator can operate under internal or external frequency control. It can produce modulated or continuous wave oscillations. Both synthesised and non-synthesised oscillation modes are available. In the synthesised (scan) mode, the output power level is hold constant with the accuracy of 0.5 dB through the whole frequency band. This level is equal to 30 mW for the full (100%) power mode. It can be decreased to 80%, 60%, 40%, or 20% of the maximum level by using the control options introduced. The sweep oscillator is controlled:
- from the local touchscreen on the front panel of the device
- from external keyboard
- via RS232 interface
- via GPIB interface
