Endwave's oscillators are the unanimous choice of synthesizer designers and system engineers as the frequency sources used to drive mixing, frequency multiplication, or transmitter stages in their equipment. Endwave's YIG (Yttrium Iron Garnet) technology provides a frequency source with exceptionally low phase noise and high tuning bandwidth with the spectral purity needed for high data-rate communications and instrumentation applications - something often not possible with a single DRO or VCO-based oscillator. Endwave provides YIG-tuned oscillators through Ku-Band, and these high fundamental frequencies also help to minimize spurious signals in the overall system design. Customers often cascade an Endwave multiplier at the output of our oscillator to extend the operating frequency well into the millimetre-wave range. Endwave free-running oscillators are available in two base configurations, Micro-YIG and Mini-YIG, to address a range of packaging, performance, and budget constraints.
