The AP5042A G3 vector signal generator is a multi-channel, ultra-agile vector signal generator with a high-performance internal I/Q modulator.

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
  • High radio frequency (RF) signal bandwidth with built-in support for common vector modulation schemes
  • Direct support for the controlled injection of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) into the signal path
  • 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
  • Excellent error vector magnitude (EVM) and adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) performance
  • 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 (update frequency, power and phase in below 200 ns)
