Highlights
Multi-channel, fast-switching vector signal generator
Enable outstanding, ultra-fast continuous wave (CW) frequency sweeping, chirping, intra-pulse modulation, frequency hopping, and pulse shaping, all with very low phase noise. Per channel, a high-performance internal I/Q modulator enables customized modulation waveforms and supports dedicated modulation schemes, including avionics modulation. Each output can be programmed independently in frequency, power, phase, and modulation, and the outputs are phase-coherent with excellent phase stability.
- 1, 2, 3, or 4 channels mounted in a 19” 2HU enclosure
- Modular system designed for high reliability and fast, easy calibration, service, and repair
- 400 MHz signal modulation bandwidth with built-in support for common vector modulation schemes
- Outstanding signal purity of modulated signals: lowest phase noise (-145 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz and 20 kHz offset), low spurious, and excellent harmonic rejection
- Direct support for the controlled injection of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) into the signal path
- Full set of built-in analog modulations like AM, FM, PM, Pulse
- Ultra-narrow pulse trains (< 5 ns), linear and non-linear pulsed frequency chirps
- Built-in digital modulation schemes like FSK, PSK, ASK, QAM
- Ultra-fast frequency hopping and sweeping capability
