API Technologies Launches New Configurable Frequency Synthesizers

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- API Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:ATNY) ("API" or the "Company"), a leading provider of high performance RF/microwave, power, and security solutions for critical and high-reliability applications, announced today the launch of configurable frequency synthesizers (Models LCFS-X), the newest addition to the Company's line of standard RF / microwave products.

Offering superior phase noise performance as low as -92 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset, the synthesizers are ideally suited for a variety of applications including SIGINT /electronic warfare (EW), SATCOM, Doppler radar, and telecommunication systems. The compact surface mount packaging and affordable price point make these synthesizers an ideal solution for unmanned systems applications.

Available with full octave coverage from 275 MHz to 6 GHz and fractional bandwidths to 10 GHz, the new line of customizable frequency synthesizers offers a standard internal reference, Three additional outputs are available at either the fundamental or divided oscillator frequency with up to +13 dBm output power. No user programming is required for customized features.

"With some of the best phase noise performance in the industry, our new line of customizable surface-mount frequency synthesizers combines superior performance and affordability," said Ken Veith, Director of Technology RF/Microwave and Microelectronics (RF2M US), API Technologies.
