All-round RF generator for applications up to 6 GHz
The DSG3000 series RF source is ideal for applications such as wireless communication, radar test, audio/video broadcasting, general purpose, education, and consumer electronics, amongst others.
The instrument has an amplitude accuracy of <0.5 dB (typical) and an output amplitude range from -130 dBm to +13 dBm (+25 dBm ALC off). It offers high signal purity, phase noise: <-110 dBc/Hz at 20 kHz (typical).
Other features include standard 0.5ppm internal clock, standard AM/FM/ΦM analog, and standard pulse modulation; on/off ratio up to 80 dB. All modulations support internal and external modulation.
The instrument has a standard 2U height design to save rack space — rack mount kit is available — and a wear-free electronic attenuator design. It has standard USB/LAN/GPIB remote control interfaces and supports the SCPI command set
The functional range can be extended with 4 available options. The high stable Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (option OCXO-A08) enhances the temperature stability of the reference frequency from 0.5 ppm to 5 ppb.
An additional accuracy enhancement option, the so called Power Meter Controller (option PMC-DSG3000), enables the user to control USB Power Meters from different manufactures (Agilent/R&S/….). This is used as an automatic flatness calibration function (cables, attenuators, amplifiers and so on) for test systems.
Functional enhancements include the IQ and Pulse options (IQ-DSG3000; PUG-DSG3000). With the Pulse Option the DSG3000 is able to act as Pulse Train Generator.
The IQ option enables digital modulation generation. This option enables the user to internally generate IQ signals and output this as RF IQ-signals or as baseband I and Q signals. Also external I and Q signals can be inputted and modulated to RF up to 6 GHz.
