The SGS100A is an RF source designed to meet the requirements of automated test systems. It is available as a CW source or as a vector signal generator with an integrated I/Q modulator. With its frequency range of up to 12.75 GHz, the vector signal generation version covers the essential digital signals. The CW version can be used as a flexible local oscillator as well as for interference testing against mobile radio standards.
- Smallest fully integrated vector signal generator on the market, space-saving design for system integration
- Enables high throughput due to very short frequency and level setting times of typ. 280 µs via PCIe interface
- Excellent RF performance in a compact format
- Maximum output level of typ. +22 dBm for compensating losses in the setup
- Closed ALC loop for CW and I/Q modes for highest level repeatability
- High output frequency up to 12.75 GHz for broad applicability
- Wear-free electronic attenuator for high reliability
- Very cost-efficient with low initial costs and low cost of ownership
- Dedicated ATE signal generation
- I/Q-modulated or pure CW source in frequency range from 80 MHz to 12.75 GHz (I/Q) and 1 MHz to 12.75 GHz (CW)
- Very fast settling times via PCIe interface
- Maximum level of typ. > +20 dBm (with electronic attenuator)
- Optional wear-free electronic attenuator
- External software (SGMA GUI) for remote control of multiple instruments
- Field-upgradeable
