    2 options 4 and 5: frequency extension down to 10 mhz two options are available to extend the 2 ghz low end frequency limit of the base models down to 10 mhz. Option 4 uses a digital down-converter (ddc) with successive divide-by-two circuitry. It offers the best phase noise performance of the two c...
