• Frequency Range: 100 kHz to 40 GHz.
• Frequency Resolution: ≤ 1 mHz.
• Output Power: Adjustable from -10 dBm to +20 dBm, with a typical/maximum of +20 dBm at 1 GHz.
• Phase Noise: ≤ -145 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz and 20 kHz offset.
• Switching Speed: ≤ 20 microseconds.
• Synchronization: Phase-locked and synchronized across channels, with capability for internal or external reference locking.
• Form Factor: 1U, 19-inch rack-mountable chassis.
• Interfaces: Programmable control for frequency, phase, and amplitude; standard communication interfaces (Ethernet, USB, GPIB).
• Example Compliant Product: Keysight AP4022A Frequency Synthesizer (40 GHz).

This document serves as a technical specification, likely to be incorporated into a solicitation. Bidders should review these detailed technical requirements to determine their ability to meet the performance, functionality, and physical specifications for the frequency synthesizer.
