The ACST 1215A-24S High Power Source is an in-housing millimeter-wave signal source designed for THz and sub-THz applications operating in the 410 to 470 GHz frequency range. It integrates a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with an active amplifier/multiplier chain to deliver stable, high-output RF power. The module is fully self-contained in a rugged metal housing with standard RF and DC interfaces for straightforward integration into laboratory, test, and imaging systems.
