Anritsu has introduced a family of rubidium signal generators that provide excellent signal purity and frequency stability in a wide frequency range from 9kHz to 43.5GHz, even at high output power levels. Together with built-in, easy-to-use field frequency and power calibration capabilities, it provides excellent overall utility and long-term value in a wide range of commercial and defense/aerospace measurement applications.
Signal purity is critical for a wide range of measurement applications, from radar testing to ADC and DAC testing. The signal generator delivers industry-unmatched low SSB phase noise at 10GHz and 10kHz offsets of -136dbc /Hz (typical value) and -140DBC /Hz (measured value). Together with first-class harmonic and spurious performance, the signal generator enables customers to make measurements with greater precision.
The device features built-in, on-site frequency and level calibration, and is easily accessed by touching buttons on the GUI interface. This feature ensures customer level, accurate frequency needs, saves time, enhances convenience, and increases instrument availability. On-site calibration requires anli CW USB power sensor. Field frequency calibration requires built-in GNSS/GPS atomic clock receivers or ultra-stable rubidium time-based options.
The device's AM, FM/PM and pulse modulation capabilities enable a wide range of complex analog modulation signals. The internal low frequency generator can generate seven different waveforms to modulate the carrier. In addition, simultaneous modulation of AM/FM, AM/PM, or FM/Pulse can produce complex modulation waveforms such as chirp. The signal generator used for pulse radar testing has a wide range of signal simulation capabilities built into it.
The device offers a wide range of options to provide optimal functional cost and measurement flexibility. Installed in a 3U case, the front panel has a 7-inch touch screen with a traditional keyboard/dial interface.
