Fast Frequency Switching

The fast frequency switching of the Giga-tronics 2400 Series Microwave

Synthesizer pays dividends in any test environment where large amounts of

data are collected. Regardless of the complexity of your application, such as

antenna characterization or RFIC testing, the 2400 Series will quickly prove

itself as your best test investment by providing quick settling of amplitude

and frequency for minimum waiting between measurement points. In addition,

the 2400 Series Automation Xpress software and interface option ensures

unmatched 2.5 ms CW frequency and power switching performance, providing

fast and flexible data exchange rates for faster testing and more device

throughput.

Low Phase Noise

The Giga-tronics 2400 Series Microwave Synthesizers deliver state of the

art phase noise and fast switching simultaneously. The 2400 Series low

noise, high power and excellent phase stability are ideal for serving as your

measurement system’s local oscillator and makes it suitable to serve as a low

jitter clock.

Faster to Program

Every 2400 Series Microwave Synthesizer comes with Giga-tronics WaveMaker,

a PC based software package designed for enhanced user interface and

automatic test systems. WaveMaker leverages industry-leading software

applications and familiar Windows drop-down menus and other functions to

perform tasks. Using any Windows-based application, such as Microsoft™ Excel

or Notepad, engineers can create, manage and download complex lists in a

matter of seconds-right from the comfort of their desktop PC.

Simpler to Operate

From the first glance, it’s clear the Giga-tronics 2400 Series is different. Its

innovative design and intuitive interface will make you productive right out

of the box. The 2400 was designed to streamline user navigation by moving

complex testing functions from the front panel to the desktop PC. The result

is a groundbreaking system that reduces training time, speeds workflow and

dramatically boosts end-user productivity. To enhance user navigation, we

minimized the number of soft screens and menu layers, simplifying content

and improving operational performance. That means you’ll spend less time

scrolling through data menus and more time getting your work done.

2400A Series Optimized for ATE

With the 2400A Series, ATE integrators now have a system source specifically

designed to match their unique performance needs. The 2400A Series

works seamlessly with other instruments. It includes hardware triggering

and synchronization signals with programmable delay to allow coordination

with other test products in your system. Emulating other industry-standard

microwave synthesizers can be accommodated, making the 2400A Series the

ideal choice for upgrading older systems. The 2400A Series standard features

include a 3U rack mountable microwave synthesizer with rack ears, a high

stability timebase option, rear RF-output, GPIB-interface, and a blank front

panel-all for one competitive price.
