The QM2010 USB RF synthesizer series from
Quonset Microwave offers a low cost solution for
today's demanding RF signal generation needs.
The QM2010-6000 RF Synthesizer Module is a low-
cost, wideband 25 MHz to 6 GHz frequency
synthesizer ideally suited for bench top test and
measurement as well as low-cost small form-factor
radar and communications systems. Its wide output
frequency range, superb spurious rejection, and
excellent phase noise performance provide a high-
quality, low-cost alternative to conventional bench top
RF signal generators. The RF synthesizer module is
capable of phase locking to its internal 50 MHz
reference or a user provided external reference.
The RF synthesizer module is powered and controlled
directly by a host PC through USB. The QM2010-
6000 is VISA compliant, enabling seamless cross-
platform use.
Users can control QM2010 series
synthesizers through a lightweight control GUI,
supported on Windows
platforms, with SCPI compliant VISA commands,
described in the QM2010 User Manual, or with third
party development environments such as LabVIEW

- Page 3 The QM2010 RF Synthesizer Module is capable of operating in integer or fractional mode. In integer mode, the frequency resolution of the QM2010-6000 is dependent on the frequency range of operation. This is due to the design topology of the QM2010-6000, which has a fundamental frequency range of 1500 MHz to 3000 in integer mode, the frequency resolution is equal to ��������...

- Page 5 Aside from reference divider selection, the phase noise performance and stability of the reference oscillator has a direct effect on QM2010 phase noise performance. The QM2010-6000 includes an on board, high precision TXCO 50 MHz reference whose phase noise parameters are outlined in Table 2. To ensure optimal QM2010 performance when an external reference is required, it is important to choose an accurate and stable oscillator with specifications equal to or better than the 50 MHz TCXO Int Ref outlined in Table 2.
