Phase noise is a key specification for RF Frequency Synthesizers and RF Oscillator. Phase noise is often called phase jitter or frequency domain jitter. Jitter is the time domain analog to frequency domain phase noise. The root of phase noise is frequency instability or phase instability in a frequency source. In most RF oscillators, there ..

There are several applications and environments where it is critical to have functioning communications equipment for safety and operational purposes, but these environments expose communications equipment to extremes that are beyond the normal operating range for most common components, devices, and systems. Examples include mining, arid environment, oil and gas processing, industrial manufacturing, metal working, ..

It is often useful to have coaxial connectorized components available that are smaller than even SMA connectorized components. When this is the case, there are a few options. Namely, subminiature version B (SMB), micro coaxial connectors (MCX), micro-miniature coaxial connectors (MMCX), and other much higher frequency connectors. Since the 2.4 mm, 1.85 mm, 1.35 mm, ..
