Ultra-Low Phase Noise Sources for Radar/SATCOM: Interview with Quantic Wenzel

Michael Glass, RF Systems Sales Engineer at Quantic Wenzel, talks with Pat Hindle about the rising demand for ultra-low phase noise frequency sources in digital RF systems. They cover how ADCs, PLLs, DDS synthesizers, and RF SoCs still depend on clean analog clocks to reach low noise floors, and how newer designs push for higher frequencies, smaller form factors, rugged construction, and multiple coherent outputs. Glass explains how low noise clocks improve radar resolution, SATCOM link reliability, and system performance. Sponsored by Quantic Wenzel.
