Product Documentation
1. Functional Features
a) Gain Adjustment & Frequency Band Switching
- Supports 10–40 dB gain adjustment with 0.5 dB step resolution (accuracy ≤ ±1 dB).
- Dual LO frequency switching (9.75 GHz / 10.6 GHz) for output bands 10.7–11.9 GHz and 11.55–12.75 GHz.
b) LO Circuit Lock Detection
- Built-in PLL lock detection to monitor LO stability, ensuring reliable operation.
c) Serial Communication
- RS485 interface for remote control:
- Query LO lock status.
- Adjust gain settings.
- Switch reference sources (internal/external).
