  • Can economically replace lab instrument signal generators in many common applications.
Valon 5030 Low Boundary Spurs
The Valon 5030 frequency synthesizer uses multiple phase lock loops to provide exceptionally low phase noise over the 18GHz to 32GHz range.  The multiple loop technique also greatly reduced spurs while providing high resolution tuning precision.  Boundary spurs are exceptionally low at most frequency as shown in the plot on the left of 26.000001GHz signal.
Calibrated and leveled output power is accurate and stable over time and temperature from at least +15dBm down to -15dBm in 0.01dB steps.
The Valon 5030 incorporates a number of ultra low noise internal voltage regulators driven by a high efficiency switching pre-regulator providing an input voltage range of 5 Volts ~ 15 Volts.
  
The internal TCXO provides ± 2ppm stability over the -20 ⁰C to +70 ⁰C temperature range.  This internal reference can be also trimmed or calibrated using software commands.  In addition the external reference input can accept ±3V electronic frequency control.  In addition to the internal TCXO reference, any external reference from 5MHz to 100MHz that is a multiple of 0.2MHz may be applied.
 
The Valon 5030 can be controlled through the provided USB port using any terminal program or our graphical user interface.   A special interface port allows for a number of other communications protocols including Ethernet 10/100* and Serial TTL.  A special USER port is also available for LIST mode frequency selection as well as timing and synchronizing sweeps modes. 
       
 Phase Noise
The usefulness of any signal source is its signal purity. Valon synthesizers are designed to provide exceptionally low phase noise consistently over the 18GHz to 32GHz band.

Picture
The plots above are typical of the signal phase noise performance shown at 24GHz and 28GHz.  This phase noise performance ensures that the 5030 will provide good results in local oscillator and frequency multiplier applications.
5030 Maximum Power
An important specification of any RF source is maximum output power.  The Valon 5030 provides typically greater than +17dBm (50mW) from 18GHz to 30GHz. This higher power is useful in a number of system applications such as driving mixer LOs and power amplifiers without the need for additional driver amplifiers.

Picture
The plot shown here is the maximum output power taken from a large sample of 5030 synthesizers.  The data is taken by setting the synthesizer to the maximum power limit.  Trace labeled Typical is the average value of the maximum power for the sample lot.  Also plotted is the current published specification for maximum power.

5030 Typical Power Accuracy (dB) vs dBm
The 5030 uses a precision linear-in-dB RF detector in order to provide exception absolute power level accuracy and stability.  This plot shows the deviation from nominal for power levels from -15dBm to +15dBm in 3dB steps.  Typically, the power selected will be accurate to <±1dB.


Picture
The Valon 5030 is housed in a CNC machined housing for enhanced EMC/EMI protections.  
Requires 5V ~ 15V at approximately 5 watts
Includes 20" dc power cable

See 5015/5019/5030 3D Model STEP Files for mechanical details.

*Ethernet adapter and PoE 12V Injector sold separately.
Ethernet connects to the 5030 internal web server GUI.
