PRODUCT SUMMARY
The Holzworth HSM Series RF Synthesizer
Module is a stand alone, CW source. This high
frequency source is designed for ease of system
integration where LO performance is critical.
With >200kHr MTBF, Holzworth synthesizers
provide the best in industry stability.
integrated as multiple units, the result is true
phase coherency with industry leading channel-
to-channel stability. Compare the HSM Series
to competitive designs and discover the most
compact form factor available in its overall
performance class.
The core architecture of the HSM Series modules is derived from Holzworth's proprietary NON-PLL
design to provide the ultimate in phase / frequency stability. This direct-digital/direct-analog hybrid
design was originally developed as a key building block for our phase noise analysis products. The
hybrid architecture provides frequency agility & resolution, phase continuous switching and
predictable performance without compromising on spurious or phase noise performance.

Note: Holzworth's "Ultra Low Phase Noise" statement is real. We make no assumptions. 100% of all RF
synthesizers manufactured by Holzworth Instrumentation are subjected to full phase noise evaluation. (This
critical parameter cannot be accepted as being "OK" based on spectrum analysis or an alternate test.)
The versatile HSM Series Synthesizer Module can be controlled directly via the SPI bus, the
Holzworth GUI, a preloaded lookup table, LabVIEW
integrators have preferred the supported Linux platform over a Windows based PC.
The attractive performance-to-price
ratios available with the Holzworth HSM
Series offers optimal solutions for
electronics design, manufacturing test
applications, as well as OEM systems
integration.
Finally, with MTBFs
200,000 hours, the
synthesizer module has been designed
to exceed the most stringent reliability
requirements.
