GHz Differential Amplifier Using a 180° 2-Way Power Splitter

10.10.2013

Every now and then, a differential amplifier in the frequency range of the UHFLI Lock-in Amplifier is needed. The requirements for such an amplifier are low noise and a frequency range of at least 600 MHz. A commercial solution with an active differential amplifier is not available today. A straightforward...

Using a 10 MHz Clock Reference with HF2 Instruments

27.05.2013

Phase-synchronous operation of a variety of frequency sources and analyzers is a common requirement, which is usually solved by distributing a 10 MHz clock signal to which the individual instruments are phase-locked. This ensures not only a perfect frequency match between the referenced instruments, but also guarantees a constant phase...
