the ADF4350 synthesizer, a USB connector and related inter-
face, a 10 MHz TCXO reference source, SMA connectors for
the RF outputs, and reference signal plus headers for various
signals and voltages. There is also a loop filter (20 kHz) on
board. A USB cable is included with the board to connect to
a PC USB port.
The package also contains Windows® software (2000- and XP-
compatible) to allow easy programming of the synthesizer.
