The ACST 1223B-12S Broadband Source is a high-power in-housing signal source designed for millimeter-wave systems operating from 155 to 260 GHz. It utilizes a voltage-controlled oscillator combined with a high-performance amplification and multiplication chain to deliver stable broadband output power across the full WR-4.3 frequency band. The unit is housed in a self-contained metallic package with standard RF and DC interfaces, making it suitable for laboratory and system-level integration.
