TOP LEVEL DESCRIPTION
The agile synthesizer drawer is used in conjunction with an agile transmitter. It provides the main local oscillator to
the system. The synthesizer within is capable of being programmed to operate at the frequency necessary to achieve
the on-channel S-band carrier. The LO is heterodyned with an IF signal within the transmitter. This mixing action
determines what frequency the agile synthesizer drawer will be set at. Referring to the block diagram, which is
subsequent to this document, may provide a better understanding of how this drawer operates.
