Best signal quality in the mid-range… for high measurement accuracy in a  variety of applications

Highest output power in its class… provides power reserves to replace external amplifiers

IHighest output power in its class

• Specified output power of >+18 dBm over the wide frequency range of 1 MHz to 6 GHz
• Typical maximum level of +25 dBm (in overrange) over the entire frequency range up to 6 GHz

Best signal quality in the mid-range

• Low SSB phase noise of typ. –128 dBc (20 kHz carrier offset, 1 GHz carrier frequency, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth)
• Very low SSB phase noise even at low output frequencies (a new DDS synthesizer from 9 kHz to 23.4375 MHz is used instead of a downconverter)
• Nonharmonics suppression of typ. –85 dBc (>10 kHz carrier offset, carrier frequency <1.5 GHz)
• Low wideband noise of typ. –152 dBc (>10 MHz carrier offset, 1 GHz carrier frequency)
• Harmonics of typ. –30 dBc at the maximum specified output power of +18 dBm

All-purpose RF source

• Wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz covers the main frequency bands for RF applications
• Integrated frequency, level, and LF sweeps
• All important analog modulations with AM, FM/φM, and pulse modulation supported
• Internal LF generator provides sinewave signals up to 1 MHz as well as squarewave signals up to 20 kHz
• Intuitive user interface with graphical display of signal flow facilitates operation
• Context-sensitive online help ensures efficient utilization of the instrument

Ideal for production

• Short switchover times for frequency of typ. 1.6 ms and level of typ. 1.2 ms via remote control and <1 ms in the List mode allow high throughput
• High level accuracy and repeatability are the basis of high production yield
• High output power of up to +25 dBm compensates level loss on the way to the DUT
• Wearfree electronic attenuator with overvoltage protection up to 6 GHz as standard ensures long service life even in the case of heavy use in production
• Compact design with only two height units saves rack space
• Remote control via LAN, USB, and GPIB allows easy integration into the test system

Ready for aerospace and defense applications

• Optional pulse modulator offers excellent performance with typ. 90 dB on/off ratio and a rise/fall time of typ. 10 ns
• Flexible pulse generator with minimum pulse width of 20 ns allows the generation of various pulse signals
• Wide temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and maximum permissible operating altitude of 4600 m above sea level allow the instrument to be used even under extreme conditions
• Low weight of only 5.3 kg and the compact form factor make the instrument ideal for mobile applications
