SAN JOSE, Calif., 18 Nov. 2007.Phase Matrix Inc. has been awarded a $700,000 contract by Lockheed Martin Systems Integration - Owego to develop an X/Ku-band digitally tuned oscillator for the U.S. Air Force's B-2 stealth bomber. The oscillator will be used to help modernize the B-2's electronic systems Phase Matrix expects to receive orders for additional spares once qualification of the oscillator has been satisfactorily completed.
Phase Matrix's compact, high-performance digitally tuned oscillator uses low phase noise, fast-settling voltage-controlled oscillators that are digitally linearized to provide high frequency accuracy over the frequency band and temperature range. This high-resolution digitally tuned signal generation module is designed to offer low post tuning drift and high purity.
