Saelig Introduces SAF Tehnika Spectrum Compact SG 6GHz – 40GHz RF Signal Generators

The world’s first handheld microwave signal generators series consists of four devices, each dedicated to its own frequency range. These instant on/off CW sources feature a resistive touchscreen for operation indoors or outdoors, even with gloved hands.

Saelig Company Inc. has introduced the SAF Tehnika Spectrum Compact SG Series RF Signal Generators - hand-held and easy to use RF signal generators for the 6GHz – 40GHz licensed microwave frequency bands. There are four models in the SG range, covering specific frequency ranges: 6GHz-12GHz (J0SSAG11), 10GHz-18GHz (J0SSAG12), 17GHz-24GHz (J0SSAG13) and 24GHz-40GHz (J0SSAG14) and they make ideal companions to SAF Tehnika’s handheld Spectrum Compact spectrum analyzers. The output from these generators is adjustable in 1MHz frequency steps and output power from -3dBm up to +13dBm can be adjusted in 1dBm increments. The compact (5.04” x 3.2” x 0.94”) housing is rugged and lightweight (10.6oz), ideal for field use.

These CW sources have an intuitive, interactive GUI with instant on/off functionality, and the resistive touchscreen allows for operation even with gloved hands. The Spectrum Compact SG series can integrate with commonly available antenna or waveguide systems via a standard SMA connector. The built-in LiPo battery allows continuous use for three hours or more.

The extremely portable models in the SG series are valuable tools for indoor benchtop use, or outdoors for antenna testing, alignment, and line-of-sight verification. The output signal can be fed into a directional antenna for subsequent detection at a far point microwave dish, for instance, when paired with an SAF Spectrum Compact signal analyzer. For precision field work, external low-pass filters may also be attached to the SMA output connector.

• Top choice for line of sight verification applications
• Essential tool for antenna alignment and testing
• Perfect for different microwave system analysis and measurement applications
• Intuitive control and interactive GUI with instant on/off functionality
• Resistive touchscreen allows working with gloves on

The SAF Tehnika Spectrum Compact SG Series are must-have tools for any field engineer performing microwave equipment installation, link troubleshooting, site planning and maintenance in real-world field environments.

Field engineers and technicians can use the ultra-portable handheld microwave spectrum analyzers to conduct site surveys, radio parameter verification, antenna alignment, interference detection, line-of-sight verification, signal strength mapping, and interference hunting.

Designed and manufactured in Europe by SAF Tehnika, a leading producer of innovative RF test products, the Spectrum Compact SG series are the world’s smallest microwave signal generators, and are in use worldwide. SAF Tehnika Spectrum Compact SG Series RF Signal Generators are available now from Saelig Company, Inc. Fairport, NY.
