Description
The Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) is seeking a quote for a multi-channel frequency synthesizer for superconducting qubit research. The synthesizer must have a minimum of two independent output channels, each capable of operating up to 40 GHz and phase-coherent with the others. The system should have a wide frequency range, low phase noise, and fast switching speeds. The quote should include pricing, lead time, and any discounts available.
Key requirements include:
• A multi-channel architecture with a minimum of two independent output channels
• Each channel must be capable of operating up to 40 GHz and phase-coherent with the others
• The system should have a wide frequency range from 100 kHz to 40 GHz
• Low phase noise performance, specifically achieving a phase noise level of -145 dBc/Hz or better at a 20 kHz offset from a 1 GHz carrier
• Fast frequency switching, with switching speeds of 20 microseconds or less over the entire frequency range
• A high-stability internal reference oscillator and the capability to phase-lock to an external programmable reference
