Functions
Provides synthesized broadband frequency coverage from 10 MHz to 50 GHz with high accuracy and low phase noise via indirect synthesis. Supports precise frequency sweeping modes (step, list, ramp) with fine resolution down to 1 Hz (optional), amplitude and pulse modulation, and power leveling. Delivers low harmonic distortion and stable output power up to +10 dBm (<26 GHz) for testing RF components, receivers, frequency converters, and antenna simulations. Interfaces via standard RF outputs and supports scan modulation and two-tone offset measurements for comprehensive RF system characterization.
Platforms
The equipment functions as a radio frequency (RF) signal generator with frequency synthesis and sweeping capabilities. It operates within a hardware ecosystem requiring precision RF measurement tools and interfaces with test fixtures, antennas, and RF systems through standard coaxial connectors. The unit communicates via GPIB/IEEE-488 interface for remote operation and system integration. Common applications include component testing, receiver sensitivity measurements, and automated test systems in telecommunications, aerospace, and defense industries where high-frequency signal generation with spectral purity and modulation capabilities are required for device characterization and system verification.
Applications
Wide frequency range synthesized signal generation from 10 MHz to 50 GHz with excellent phase noise and frequency resolution. Supports continuous wave, step sweep, list sweep, and power sweep modes with precise amplitude control. Features internal modulation capabilities including AM, FM, phase, and pulse modulation. Commonly used for local oscillator and RF/microwave source applications in spectrum analyzer testing, network analyzer measurements, receiver sensitivity testing, and component characterization. Integrates with automated test systems via GPIB interface for production testing of amplifiers, filters, mixers, and frequency conversion devices. Provides stable reference signals for radar system testing, satellite communications equipment calibration, and electronic warfare system development.
