The QM2010 USB RF synthesizer series from
Quonset Microwave offers a low cost solution for
today's demanding RF signal generation needs.
The QM2010-10-20 RF Synthesizer Module is a low-
cost, wideband 10 GHz to 20 GHz frequency
synthesizer ideally suited for bench top test and
measurement as well as low-cost small form-factor
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 QM2010-10-
20 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
The RF Synthesizer you can carry in your pocket!

  • Page 3 Integer and Fractional Modes of Operation The QM2010 USB RF synthesizer Module is capable of operating in integer or fractional mode. In integer mode, the frequency resolution of the QM2010-10-20 is dependent on the reference frequency and reference ������������������ divider as defined by this relationship �������� = ∗...
  • Page 4 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 QM2010-10-20 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.
  • Page 5 If the selected power level exceeds the maximum or minimum output power levels shown in Figure 5, the QM2010 will set the power level to the closest possible value.
