Introducing the APMSYN40: RF Synthesizer Module – 1 MHz to 40 GHz.

The frequency synthesizer has a frequency range of 1 MHz to 40 GHz, a switching time of approximately 50 μs, and an output power range of -30 to +25 dBm. SSB phase noise at 20 kHz offset from a 1 GHz carrier is -142 dBc/ Hz, with a 10 GHz carrier, it is -125 dBc/ Hz. The resolution is 1 mHz for frequency, 0.1° for phase, and 0.5 dB for power. Frequency accuracy is calibrated to 30 ppb and temperature stability 100 ppb over the operating temperature range of 0 to 50°C.

Several of the APMSYN40 modules can be connected together using a common 1 GHz reference base to generate multi-channel phase coherent signal sources.

Shaping the passenger experience, a different kind of showroom with LAT

With the help of its partners, LAT transforms a DDR S-Bahn train into a modern meeting room. Antonics supplies the antennas for this unique showroom concept.
The LAT Group has developed a modern showroom concept near the RAW headquarters in Berlin. With the support of several partners, including Antonics GmbH and IT am Fahrzeug (organizational unit for vehicle maintenance of the DB), a former DDR S-Bahn train carriage was technically modernized: From passenger displays to transmission technology (5G antennas) and passenger WiFi. In addition to the original seating, the carriage now has a meeting room and a bar. The 1929 series 476 railcar will be available for rent for events and customer meetings.
