New instrument series combines high-performance signal generation capabilities with an intuitive user interface
With the introduction of the SGX1000 RF Signal Generator by Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., users can now receive ultra-fine frequency resolution, lightning-fast frequency switching, ultra-low phase noise and jitter, and superior reliability. The SGX1000 is built on the latest Boonton instrument platform that offers an easy-to-use modern interface in a compact form factor, bringing high-performance signal generation at an affordable price for broad use in the semiconductor, military, aerospace, medical, and communications industries.
The SGX1000 series covers a frequency range from 10 MHz to 18 GHz and provides superior performance in several areas including
- 6 µs frequency switching
- Phase noise of -123 dBc/Hz at 3 GHz with a 10 kHz offset
- 55 fs jitter
The instrument’s intuitive user interface with a multi-touch display offers easy access to controls for performing frequency and power sweeps as well as configure amplitude, frequency, phase and pulse modulation settings to address a wide variety of test requirements.
