Functions
Delivers precision RF signal generation from 250 kHz to 3 or 6 GHz with exceptional spectral purity and low phase noise (-134 dBc/Hz at 20 kHz offset), supporting continuous wave (CW), amplitude modulation (AM), phase modulation (PM), and frequency modulation (FM) for receiver and component testing. Provides high output power and level accuracy with built-in function generation, stable timebase, and wideband modulation capabilities, suitable for cellular, ISM, and UNII band applications requiring stringent signal quality for accurate measurement and system characterization.
Platforms
Designed for laboratory and production test environments, this analog signal generator operates within benchtop or rack-mounted RF test systems interfacing through standard RF connectors and remote control ports (GPIB/IEEE-488, optional LAN/USB). It supports integration with automated test setups for cellular, ISM, and UNII band device testing, delivering CW, AM, FM, and PM signals up to 6 GHz. Connectivity allows seamless operation alongside spectrum analyzers, receivers, and vector signal analyzers for stimulus and measurement workflows in RF component development, receiver sensitivity, and adjacent channel interference testing.
Applications
Generates high-purity analog RF signals for testing and calibrating RF components and communication systems. Operates within benchtop or rack-mounted test environments, interfacing via GPIB or external modulation inputs. Widely used in wireless device development, radar system testing, and analog modulation experiments.
