Generators/Sources

The analog R&S®SMC100A sets new standards for attractively-priced signal generators. It has the smallest size and the best price/performance ratio in its class.

As its model number implies, the 745-20C-T is a digital delay generator with 20 channels in one unit. It features a 100 ps time resolution (standard, with an optional 250 fs time resolution), 5 ps jitter (internal trigger), a 25 ps jitter (external trigger), 1 ns output rise times, and more.

This ultra-compact RF signal generator is ideal for EMC/EMI applications and for use as a general purpose RF source. It comes in a compact and rugged enclosure and covers the 9 kHz to 3.0 GHz frequency range.

Higher power in their signal generators was Berkeley Nucelonics’ number one request from their customers, and they delivered on it. The model 845-HP microwave signal generator is very similar to the model 845, but its wide and accurately levelled output power range (up to +23 DBM) and high spurious suppression set it apart.

In-vehicle systems (IVS) are designed to connect to a public safety answering point when an automobile is an accident. They transmit a minimum set of data to emergency personnel that includes the vehicle’s GPS coordinates. Rohde & Schwarz recently developed a setup for manufacturers of these automatic in-vehicle systems (IVS) for reliability testing.  

The VFCG-HD1 is a fully integrated video clock generator which provides synchronous High Definition (HD) and Standard Definition (SD) output clocks for the various scanning formats. The device synchronizes to the standard input reference clock required by SMPTE274, SMPTE296, NTSC, or PAL systems.

The R&S SGS100A is an RF source designed to meet the requirements of automated test systems. It is available as a CW source or as a vector signal generator with an integrated I/Q modulator. With its frequency range of up to 6 GHz, the vector signal generation version covers the essential digital signals. The CW version, with a range of up to 12.75 GHz, can be used as a flexible local oscillator as well as for interference testing against mobile radio standards.

This Narda IMA is a programmable signal source that digitally creates frequency-modulated waveforms and applies them to a carrier that can be varied +/-30 MHz in less than 100 ns. Its unique characteristics make it well suited for use as a fast-hopping signal generator, programmable noise source, or arbitrary signal generator.
