Generators/Sources

AR offers a complete variety of rugged, high-power antennas for virtually any testing procedures. Since all are frequency and power matched to AR amplifiers, it is easy to select exactly the right unit.

Tektronix's TSG4100A Series of RF Vector Signal Generators with true DC to 2 GHz, 4 GHz, or 6 GHz, and up to 200 MHz modulation bandwidth, support both analog and vector signal generation. The series comes standard with analog modulation. 

This system is comprised of four independent vector signal generators that are able to be phase aligned to one or more of each other, allowing the creation of any complex RF signal environment with any type or mixed types of waveforms.

AtlanTecRF’s RNG series of Ethernet controlled, broadband noise generators operate within the 10 Hz to 18 GHz frequency range, and provide up to 1 W of white Gaussian noise output in several different modes. With custom variations up to 40 GHz, these generators are perfect for use as laboratory instruments or built in system test facilities.

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.  

Analog Devices offers the ADF4371 microwave wideband synthesizer with an integrated VCO. This device allows implementation of fractional-N or Integer N phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers when used with an external loop filter and an external reference frequency. The wideband microwave voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) design allows frequencies from 62.5 MHz to 32 GHz to be generated with an output frequency ranging from 4000 MHz to 8000 MHz.

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.
