PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AD9959 consists of four independently programmable DDS channels. The AD9959 features independent frequency, phase, and amplitude control of each channel; this allows for the correction of imbalances due to analog processing such as filtering, amplification, or PCB layout related mismatches. The AD9959 supports frequency sweeping for radar and instrumentation applications. Since all four channels share a common system clock, they are inherently synchronized. If more than four channels are required, synchronizing multiple AD9959s is a simple task.
