Fast tuning and low phase noise are typically opposing specifications for synthesizers. In this talk we will discuss modern synthesizers and how the tuning speed and phase noise coupling has been broken enabling both low phase noise and fast switching as attributes of the same synthesizer. We will discuss construction of small form factor, fast switching, low phase noise synthesizers.
